That depends.
he could be Trump’s VP and act as a poison pill which the supreme Court can be forced outright to swallow.

Trump gets into office.
The sitting president of the United States calls upon the supreme court to rule on the issue of whether or not a person who once held citizenship in another country (and absolutely the president could force them not to try to issue a ruling from another angle) can constitutionally hold the office of president.

If they rule yes, Cruz is vetted.

If they rule no Trump has carte blanche to revoke everything Obama ever signed off on.

Wow! Wouldn't that be something. Are you sure that the Supreme Court would have to take the case and make a decision?

That’s a unique scenario you proposed! As a fellow Texan, I find it interesting to think about, as in “what if?”.
