“It takes that long to tell the attorney he claims to have looking into it to go file?”

You can’t control the outcome, publicity wise, of a lawsuit that has only been filed. Rubio would seek to portray it to the voters as mere politics, dirty politics, etc.

It is much better just to raise the issue through various means.

It should certainly be resolved before the next elections.
Many of us were taught in school and colleges before this came up that a president must have been born on American soil from citizen parents. That has been the historical take throughout American history.

There was a controversy over that very thing when Arthur
ran.

That’s what was drummed into my head at school.

Chester A. Arthur never ran for president. He snuck in as VP under James A. Garfield, and became president when Garfield was assassinated. He did not seek re-election.

The controversy didn't really heat up until after the assassination. For this same reason, Cruz and Rubio need to be eliminated from consideration for VP also.
