Rep. Alan Grayson said Wednesday that he plans to file suit if Sen. Ted Cruz, who was born in Canada, wins the Republican presidential nomination. Speaking with liberal Fox News radio host Alan Colmes, Mr. Grayson, a Florida Democrat, called the 2016 Republican presidential lineup "appalling."
"It's resolved itself into this weird reality show. It's not 'The Biggest Loser' that they're choosing, it's 'The Biggest Bigot,'" he said. Mr. Colmes asked if all of the GOP candidates are bigots.
"Well show me one who represents the exception here," Mr. Grayson responded. "In a sense I guess Cruz is not technically that way, because he's technically not even an American."
"Well, his mother was born here," Mr. Colmes replied, "though it's interesting to me that the people who had a problem with Obama's birth certificate don't have a problem with Ted Cruz who literally was born in another country. And he renounced his Canadian citizenry."
Mr. Grayson added, "The Constitution says natural-born Americans, so now we're counting Canadians as natural-born Americans? How does that work? I'm waiting for the moment that he gets the nomination and then I will file that beautiful lawsuit saying that he's unqualified for the job because he's in eligible."
Asked if he's serious about his threat to sue, Mr. Grayson said "Absolutely. Call me crazy but I think the president of America should be an American." "Even the anchor babies actually are born here. He doesn't even meet that qualification," he added.

LOL yeah, they love Obamacare and Bill Clinton but Christians should keep their mouths shut about abortion and the God stuff.
What was it I saw last night...
Oh, yeah, something about how Cruz talks all “religious and Biblical.”
Two questions:
1. Did Alan Grayson quit beating his wife?
2. Did Alan Grayson file suit regarding the eligibility of the Marxist Muslim Mulatto currently in office?
Thanks.

Steven Crowder said he didn’t believe Cruz could beat Clinton largely because of that but interviewing Cruz changed Crowder’s mind.

Sorry you have your facts wrong and you offer nothing to refute what I posted.
Happersett v minor.
Perkins v leg.
Cruz’s dad was an alien at the time of his birth
So .. that doesn’t prove anything.
The MOTHER WAS A CITIZEN - NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
YOU HAVE NO ARGUMENT!
But, I think you have another motive; another agenda. You hate Cruz and you’re willing to perjure yourself to try to prove something that is not true.
I told you .. you have no case.
Goodbye!
If the USSC pees their pants again, they’ll say: no standing.
It says "citizens"...which indicates TWO.
NO!!!! THE MOTHER WAS BORN IN THE USA ..!!!!!!!!
SHE WAS WORKING IN CANADA .. BUT SHE WAS NOT BORN THERE.
HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SAID ..???????
Actually, you have no argument.
You dismiss what I post and you offer no proof of why?
Post something other than your opinion.
My info conteractsyour statement about Cruz’s mother
Ted Cruz - All-Canadian boy!
He will be watching the Grey Cup tomorrow, not some faggy NFL freak show.
He will be drinking real Canadian brewskis, not that non-alcohol swill that passes for beer stateside.
He snacks on Timbits and Crispy Crunch bars.
He ends every sentence with eh, eh...
Ted Cruz for PM!
Cruz by law is a natural born citizen. I have researched this. Idiots keep digging this stuff up.
Natural born citizen means citizenship is bestowed upon birth and it does matter where that person was born. Cruz’s Mother is an American citizen and any child she has regardless of where the birth occurred is a citizen a natural born citizen.
Grayson is arguing that the father is as much a part of a persons birth establishment as the mother. In some countries this holds and even more so as the child is given the father’s family name which was done in Cruz’s case. I suspect the Founding Fathers were much aware of such a possibility and indeed some had to deal with such.
