Ted Cruz, facing suits on Canadian birth, lawyers up

WASHINGTON Ted Cruz, tagged as "Canadian" by a needling Donald Trump since the GOP race tightened in January, rejects any idea of being ineligible to be U.S. president.

While Trump hasn't followed up on his threat to sue Calgary-born Cruz over what he says is the Texas senator not meeting the constitutional requirement of being a "natural-born citizen," plenty of other people have. Trump has warned that Democrats will disrupt the electoral process by suing if Cruz is the nominee.

And that's caused Cruz a bit of trouble. He has had to lawyer up to fight the more than half-dozen lawsuits around the country, some in federal court, some in state court. A Cook County, Ill., judge tossed one of the suits Tuesday, not over the citizenship issue but over a technicality of how the papers were served.

If any judge Cruz goes in front of will try following the Constitution Ted Cruz will not be eligible to serve as president. The requirement is a natural-born citizen, which Cruz is not. He is a naturalized citizen and that's why his records are sealed.

I have known my own conclusions on this question for quite some time. But apparently it is a topic that cannot be discussed on this forum without risk of ZOT. Therefore, I respectfully decline to comment further.

Very ignorantly written piece. If someone is challenging his eligibility to be on the ballot, they would sue the election officials who control that function, they would not be suing Cruz personally. Further proof that all remaining talent has been stripped out of the newspaper business.

so would in be any different if he the nominees running against Hillary?

Of course not....Hillary invented the birther issued against Obama...

It Cruz's weakness, his kryptonite, his Achilles heel

he should of address this years back and plan for it before he ran... he didn't he has been in denial about it

As far as the United States Constitution, pay particular attention to U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 8. Also, pay particular attention to U.S. Constitution - Article I, section 5 As I have commented on before and supported with links, in the article Akhil Reed Amar, author of CNN's Why Ted Cruz is eligible to be president wrote: NOTE: nonjusticiable political question

Now, let's take a close look at the word "NATURALIZATION", its history, and FROM WHERE it was derived .
What is the root word of "Naturalization" ? Not only could the Founding Father define "natural born citizen", BUT ... THE FOUNDING FATHERS DID DEFINE IT !


The Naturalization Act of 1790, let's read it !


Take a look at the original one WRITTEN BY our FOUNDING FATHERS,
and VERIFY IT FOR YOURSELF in the list of NAMES of the members of our FIRST CONGRESS !



1st United States Congress, 21-26 Senators and 59-65 Representatives


Finally, read the latest from links provided by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the government agency that oversees lawful immigration to the United States. READ IT VERY CLOSELY.

What is Cruz creeping up right now? Polls show he is 3rd behind Rubio in most of the upcoming states. That would seem to be more of a downward creep.

And ALL tactics from the Cruz people to date is procedural...didn't serve the complaint properly...filed 19 days too late etc.

Before summer, there will be a state that denies him access to their ballot.

And then EVERYTHING will proceed on the merits.

Too bad people aren't willing to beat Cruz on the issues instead of using this BS.
