Sen. Ted Cruz might finally get the chance to prove he is eligible to run for president once and for all.
A Houston-based attorney has filed a lawsuit against Cruz, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to settle whether Canadian-born Cruz is eligible for the presidency. Noting that the Iowa caucuses are just weeks away, the attorney asks the court to expedite the case as quickly as possible.
"This 229 year question has never been pled, presented to or finally decided by or resolved by the U. S. Supreme Court," wrote attorney Newton Schwartz in his lawsuit that he filed Thursday. "Only the U.S. Supreme Court can finally decide, determine judicially and settle this issue now."
He writes: "It is undisputed, by all legal scholars, there is no U.S. Supreme Court decision or precedent: determinative of the following agreed facts of this case and controversy. 'Natural born citizen' has never been defined."
Schwartz asked the court to rule that Cruz is not eligible to run for President.
The Cruz campaign declined to comment on the suit, but said Cruz has no connection Schwartz.

Wondering... I don't know... But I wonder.... Is Tony Schwartz who cowrote "The art of the deal" with Trump, related to him?

Jumping the gun. He’s supposed to do this AFTER Cruz is elected, so the inauguration gets put off indefinitely and Obama can ride out some O.T.
Did not get the memo from the DNC apparently.
and no curiosity about Obama’s?
All righty then
Let's see if this @$$hole gets dismissed for "lack of standing."
I still believe that Cruz and Trump are playing the prees sand the DNC.
This is the perfect example.
So a liberal attorney pushes takes the bait this and it all gets cleared up well before the primary season is even over.
Way to go trump. Your leftwing birther nonsense pushing the crazies out of their basements
The timing of this surely will have some people believe Trump knew about it or that the attorney is a Trump supporter.
LOL
Trump for President.
The hyenas in either party will never drop this until someone they deem an authority rules on it. I hope this guy’s case gets fast tracked because its a non issue.
Good luck with that.
Texas!!!
Bad values!
Trump was the one who made it an issue. he was not trying to help Cruz and nobody “took it wrong”.
And if the Supremes decide that BOTH parents must be citizens for their little snowflake to be Natural Born?
I’ll bet, that because of that, SCOTUS won’t take the case.
You know per laws applicable to 1970 it is settled. I think the lawyer is pimping. Has the SCOTUS ever taken a case without it moving through the court system?
Remember when real patriots trued to get the SCOTUS to do something about Obama’s false identity??? How many were there that tried??
And the SCOTUS said the “HAD NO STANDING” to come before the court with such an issue. So now let us see what these Obamacare promoters say about Cruz.....
I for the life of me, don’t understand why we all just don’t listen to what the Mouth of Manhattan’s Lawyers had to say in September.
I mean after all the Mouth is a Brillant man who hires the BEST to do everything, I am sure his choice in lawyers is no different. While he doesn’t know himself his lawyers told him Cruz was Legal and fully qualified to run.
As the left has said Repeatedly about Obamacare. It’s settled law. :)
I find it hard to imagine that they would even accept this case.
Didn't the 2011 Birthers keep getting thrown out of courts?
