If I ever had the aspiration of running for president and I knew there could be reservations about my eligibility, I would get that cleared up with the Court before I filed my first form.

This is especially the case when running as the “Constitutional standard-bearer.” You would not want to offend the Constitution by running for an office you are ineligible for.

I think Cruz’ campaign is dishonest to the core.

It can't be done like that. His hands are tied. There has to be someone with standing who raises a challenge to him being on the ballot. Otherwise, the state election bureaus are going to let him run. Trump's "concern troll" suggestion he could go out and get a declaratory judgment is either deeply muddled thinking or something darker. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he just doesn't understand election law. Trump's main focus has been construction law, bankruptcy law, and divorce law. So he can be forgiven for making a rookie mistake like that regarding election law.

Peace,

SR
