Bad news for Ted Cruz: his eligibility for president is going to court

He is still in the race so he can legitimately sign on as a plaintiff to both Cruz and Rubio qualification law suits. That’s his only purpose at this time.
Bush drops out these two are disqualified that leaves Kasick Mr T and the good Doctor.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

if Cruz had never left Canada for the first 30 years of his life and had never been to the USA he could still become President if he just stepped across the border and changed his residency for 14 years and then talked enough people into voting for him all because his mother was born in the USA.. is this a great country or what?

[Made In The USA]

Too lazy to click to the link - is there an actual lawsuit filed or is this just more FUD?

[null and void]

And 0 got a free pass on his statement that he was born in Kenya.

That's RACIS!

[DoughtyOne]

LMAO

[Enlightened1]

It’s the real deal.

[JEDI4S]

SO IT BEGINS.

BRING IT ON!

[Axeslinger]

how is he supposed to put it to bed when it ultimately requires a court to rule on which can’t happen until one is actually a candidate and even then not until someone with standing files a suit?

that’s got to be the stupidest reason I’ve ever heard to not support a candidate! “I’m pulling my support because this guy didn’t deal with an issue that he had no possible avenue to deal with”

[Cboldt]

Circuit Court of Cook County, to be heard by Judge Maureen Ward Kirby. It is the next step, following an adverse ruling against Lawrence Joyce, rendered by the Illinois Electoral Board on the 1st of February.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Is he going to be indicted in 24 business hours?

[ObozoMustGo2012]

[Other than to sell books. Why is Ben Carson still in the race?]

To continue to keep votes from going to Cruz.
AKA: Payback for Iowa

[TigerClaws]

Exactly. He’s sticking around until after SEC states vote.

[Above My Pay Grade]

I agree. Getting this nonsense out of the way will help Cruz and make Trump look like even more if a Lefty buffoon.

[Washi]

As a Cruz supporter, I actually see this as good news.

So do I. Let's settle this crap.

[null and void]

And 0 got a free pass on his statement that he was born in Kenya.

No peon has "standing" to question a candidate's bona fides.

Only someone running for the same office might (or might not) have standing.

Panamanian born McCain certainly wasn't going to open that can of worms!

[Yashcheritsiy]

THIS is the single most comprehensive treatment of the NBC issue that I have seen to date.

[samtheman]

letting the Democrats take advantage of it after a potential Cruz nomination, when it’d be too late

---

That is the whole point!

Either resolve it now, in court, or Cruz should drop out.

[jsanders2001]

But the chooming Kenyan Mulatto gets a pass. How ironic...

[centurion316]

The problem is the Constitution doesn't define "natural born Citizen."

And the Supreme Court is never going to define it. They will not touch this question and Cruz will be on the ballot.
