For me, the ideal coarse of action would be for Cruz to declare himself ineligible thus putting Obummer on the defensive

Bingo.

That would do more for the conservative movement than anything else -- to show that he respects the Constitution too much to file for an office for which he is Constitutionally ineligible -- in stark contrast to someone else who had to lie about his paternity to get around the Constitution.

Exactly right. Both Obama and Cruz suffer the same fatal criterion of being born to foreign-national fathers. It doesn’t matter where they are born, they do not meet the Supreme Court’s exclusive definition of natural-born citizen. If Cruz admits this, then people will start to understand why Obama was never eligible for office. It’s no wonder that so many Obots are angrily insisting that Cruz is eligible.
