Donald Trump on Friday threatened to sue Ted Cruz for "not being a natural born citizen" if the Texas senator "doesn't clean up his act" and stop running negative ads against him.
"If @TedCruz doesn't clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen," he tweeted.

Trump has previously argued that if Cruz won the Republican nomination, Democrats would argue that the Canada-born Texas senator was ineligible for the presidency. Last month, Trump asked a rally if he should sue Cruz "just for fun" over the issue.

Trump HAS the standing to file this lawsuit.
He won’t. The last thing Trump wants is for the issue to be settled.
LOL. This guy’s a damn clown.
Tweet picked up by the MSM within an hour.
Like Play-Doh.
I don’t see where Trump has any standing to do this.
0 = number of lawsuits filed
As a Trump supporter, I say let’s get on with the lawsuit already so that this can be settled once and for all.
Trump HAS the standing to file this lawsuit.
We do need the issue settled. I say do it. The GOP and Romney should have done it with Obama. No balls.
Trump has standing because he is running against Cruz on the same ballot.
Trump is a clown. I watched an interview he gave last time he ran ( until he quit). He is a liberal from New York who is only in the race to destroy conservatives. I’m sure his party will reward him handsomely.
Trump has standing because he is after all Trump. ;-)
RE: I don’t see where Trump has any standing to do this.
The term “Standing” means for the ability of a party to demonstrate to the court sufficient connection to and harm from the law or action challenged to support that party’s participation in the case.
Trump should be able to demonstrate that his elections and vote can be affected by a person who is not even eligible to run for President.
“As a Trump supporter, I say let’s get on with the lawsuit already so that this can be settled once and for all.”
He won’t do that, because he knows there is no standing.
No, one does not have standing unless one can demonstrate they have suffered harm.
Well then, Cruz will just have to drop out....lol
No, one does not have standing unless one can demonstrate they have suffered harm.
Lol, trump showing his reading comprehension issues & his own nastiness with this tweet.
Cruz is a US citizen therefor eligible to run for US president.
See reading the entire sentence takes away all the drama! There is no period after nbc so read on to see what other requirements are needed to be eligible for US president.
Trump continues to threaten to make the DNC nervous that he will do it in order to goad them in to doing it sooner rather than later.
Seriously, Donnie? Have you nothing to your candidacy but this fiction that you yourself said was bogus in September?
Bring it on!
