"There's no ideological debate here: Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe and former solicitor general Ted Olson; who were on opposite sides in Bush v. Gore among other cases co-authored a memorandum in March 2008 detailing the above legal explanation in the context of John McCain's eligibility. Recall that McCain lately one of Cruz's chief antagonists was born to U.S. citizen parents serving on a military base in the Panama Canal Zone.

If you read the the opinion you will see that they found McCain eligible thru both jus sanguinis and jus solis. This means that the the 300,000 children born annually to illegal aliens are eligible to be President. It also means the children born here of tourists visiting the US are eligible to be President.

In the same opinion they declared Obama was eligible to be President due to the fact he was born in Hawaii.

Based on the opinion, the Senate issued a non-binding resolution, S RES 511 that was co-sponsored by McCaskill, Obama, Clinton, Coburn, and Leahy. If it was settled law, why the need for the Resolution?

If it was settled law, why the controversy over the eligibility of Chester A. Arthur? It needs to be resolved. Cruz has already had his eligibility challenged to be on the ballot in NH, MD, FL, and VT.
