Texas lawyer files federal ‘birther’ suit against Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is ineligible for the White House. Marco Rubio traded angry charges on a raft of issues as before.

Still, Trump has repeatedly raised doubts about whether Cruz’s mother’s citizenship qualifies the candidate to be president, and has warned that the situation would result in a legal battle should Cruz become the GOP nominee.

“The bottom line is Ted is a natural born citizen”.

Donald Trump has questioned the eligibility of main rival Ted Cruz to be President, noting that Cruz was born in Canada.

When Ted Cruz sneered at what he called Donald Trump’s “New York values”, some New Yorkers took it very personally. Instead, Cruz was naturalized at birth.

And here is the key point: The statute on the books on the day Cruz was born made him a citizen on that day….

The challenges will likely be decided by February, the spokesman said, but there’s no historical precedent that makes clear how it will be decided. On March 26, 1790, the U.S. Congress enacted the first law regarding U.S. citizenship after the ratification of the Constitution.

I asked Trevor Potter, a former Federal Elections Commission chairman who was the general counsel of McCain’s presidential campaign, about that campaign’s research into McCain’s eligibility, and what it might tell us about Cruz’s situation.

McManamon says there are a couple of ways the issue could place a legal landmine in Cruz’s way.

Asked how he knows, McCarthy said: “Because his mother’s an American”.

Rubio’s status has already been challenged in Florida.

Cruz responded that that Trump was incorrect. That case was dismissed.

Questions about Rubio’s eligibility began in 2011 when his name was circulated as a possible vice presidential running mate.

For his part, Schwartz told “Legal View” that while he is a Bernie Sanders supporter, he would be happy with any outcome in the case. “It’s the most ambiguous provision and it hasn’t been tested in 220 years”.

She worked as a computer programmer in New Orleans and Texas, and married Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, a mathematics graduate, in 1969, according to a big story published Wednesday in Maclean’s, one of Canada’s top magazines. It said they were in law deemed and declared to be “natural born citizens”.

Trump protested, “but I was born here”.

Trump has employed this political tactic before, notoriously questioning President Barack Obama’s natural citizenship and demanding to see his long-form birth certificate. There was nothing to this birther issue. Below they add, “Hey, Cruz: You don’t like New York values?”. “But the poll numbers have”.
