I hope he does sue.... Please do it Trump, sue the constitutional lawyer, that should go over well for ya.
.....................................................
It will go well for Trump to prevent another usurper in the White House and settle the issue once and for all! Cruz is not, and never has been, eligible. Nor is Rubio. Either you believe and support the Constitution o you do not. You can’t pick and choose which parts of it you want to keep and which parts you want to throw away. Only way to do that is by Article 5 and resulting referendums of states. The Constitution stands as it was written in the case of “natural born citizen.”

Ted Cruz Is A 'Natural Born Citizen,' Board Of Election Finds
"Further discussion on this issue is unnecessary."

"The Candidate is a natural born citizen by virtue of being born in Canada to his mother who was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth," the board said, reasoning that Cruz met the criteria because he "did not have to take any steps or go through a naturalization process at some point after birth."

Both objections, which on their face seemed to carry little weight, had forced lawyers for Cruz to formally respond and offer appropriate counterarguments.

In response to the filings, Cruz's lawyers relied on Supreme Court precedent, legal history and articles from noted constitutional scholars to defend the view that he is in fact "natural born" within the meaning of the Constitution.

The lawyers also pointed to the valid candidacies of two former Republican hopefuls, Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former Michigan Gov. George Romney, as examples of presidential runs that received the blessing of Congress, courts and other means to proceed, despite the fact that both men were born abroad and raised eligibility questions.

These and other sources of authority, the lawyers said, "all command the same conclusion" that Cruz complies with the "natural born" requirement.

Agenda minutes for the Illinois Board of Elections -- which include its determinations in the two challenges to Cruz's eligibility plus a separate one Graham filed against Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) -- can be found here.

Keep the lawsuits coming... the more places that validate Cruz the better.

Point very well made.

That is why conservatism has failed so much. Eligibility is something we simply ignore being it simply is inconvenient right now.
