"..the (NJ) Secretary of State ( Kim Guadagno) scheduled the unusual Administrative Law hearing for April 11"

Ted Cruz risks primary disqualification in New Jersey resulting from charges of ballot access fraud. A primary ballot disqualification hearing is scheduled by the Secretary of State for Monday, April 11 at 9:00 a.m. in Mercerville, New Jersey.
Washington D.C. Law Professor Victor Williams charges that Ted Cruz fraudulently certified his constitutional eligibility for office to gain ballot access. Williams demands that Cruz be disqualified from several late-primary ballots: "Cruz committed ballot access fraud in each state when he falsely swore that he was a 'natural born' American citizen." Cruz was born in Calgary, Canada and held his resulting Canadian citizenship until May 2014. Cruz is a naturalized (not natural born) American citizen.
Williams' fraud charges had quick effect in New Jersey. Rather than accepting Cruz's ballot petition when filed last week, the Secretary of State ( Kim Guadagno) scheduled the unusual Administrative Law hearing for April 11. The Canadian-born Cruz must prove that he did not falsely certify his eligibility for office.
Cruz's ballot eligibility is also being challenged in California, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, South Dakota, and Washington.

It depends...
The way I figure it is that if the documents weren’t damning Cruz would’ve released them as quickly as he released his mother’s birth certificate. We actually haven’t seen a piece of paper that says that Cruz is a US citizen and the date it was issued. Why not?
NO. it is NOT “settled law” that he is eligible. In FACT numerous Supreme Court Decisions regarding Natural Born Citizen ALL show that he is NOT ELIGIBLE.
“The Canadian-born Cruz must prove that he did not falsely certify his eligibility for office.” Nope. Victor Williams must prove that he did falsely certify his eligibility for office. That’s how the law works.
The other cases brought by citizen voters have been thrown out on the standing issue. In this newest challenge, the petitioner has Competitor Candidate Standing, as he has filed as a write-in candidate for POTUS, thus overcoming the standing issue.
If he proves it in NJ, these other states will accept it as proof, won’t they...

Nope!
Absolutely NOT, and Ted Cruz knows it.
A natural born citizen is one who is born in the country (jus soli), AND born to parents who are both US citizens (jus sanguinis).
As long as stuff like this is allowed to stay in the breaking news sidebar, my opinion of the future of this site is easily formed.
Well Cruz has sealed his records. For all intents and purposed he does not as far as anybody can determine an American birth certificate. He has a passport which he holds up as his citizenship proof. I would say its shaky at best.
I don’t know if he will be kept off the state ballots but I can assure you if Cruz is put on the GOP ticket top or bottom of the ticket the DNC will challenge him and they can and will keep him off the ballot unless he can prove his documents are in order.
This stuff all came up in 2008 and the only reason the DNC didn’t keep McStain off the ballot is because they were wanting to run an ineligible candidate of their own. They all finally shook hands and said eff it and let both run.
Other than submitting a claim and having it adjudicated.
I guess this is what Manafort meant when he said Cruz was about to experience (cough) "a rough patch."
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
Obama told us he was born a British Subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
The headlines make him sound like a real peach.
Citizenship by statute (Federal Law) is not Natural Born Citizenship.
As Cruz fans will say, he is working within the system and by the rules.
CITIZEN is NOT the same thing as NATURAL BORN CITIZEN in the Constitution. A DISTINCTION WAS MADE BY THE FRAMERS. A president and Vice President MUST BE a Natural Born Citizen which is BOTH PARENTS CITIZENS at the time of his birth AND Born in the USA.
