Oh, good grief.
Been settled already Cruz is eligible.
Trump supporters really need to get over it, oh wait they are afraid.

Oh? It’s been settled? Did some court rule on this?
Or is it “settled” because Cruz supporters want to ignore it?

Yes, very afraid of an alien Trojan Horse bringing the destruction of our republic. Cruz might be a stand-up guy but if allowed to unlawfully become our President, he would set a precedent for any villain that had the urge to destroy us.

Those that idiotically say his eligibility has been settled are liars or in denial of reality.


Former Solicitor General Paul Clement,[146][147] former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal,[146][147] Professor Chin (see above),[142] Temple University Law School Professor Peter Spiro,[148] Professor Akhil Amar,[149] Georgetown University Law Center Professor Randy Barnett,[150] Yale Law School Professor Jack Balkin,[150] and University of San Diego Professor Michael Ramsey[150] believe Cruz meets the constitutional requirements to be eligible for the presidency. Similarly, Bryan Garner, the editor of Black's Law Dictionary, believes the U.S. Supreme Court would find Cruz to be eligible.[151]

Tribe, however, described Cruz's eligibility as "murky and unsettled".[152] Harvard Law Professor Cass Sunstein believes that Cruz is eligible, but agrees with Ramsey that Cruz's eligibility is not "an easy question". Sunstein believes concerns over standing and the political-question doctrine will prevent the courts from resolving issues surrounding Cruz's eligibility.[153]

Mary McManamon (see above) writing in the Catholic University Law Review[154] believes that Cruz is not eligible because he was not born in the United States.[155] Professor Elhauge,[156] Professor Clinton,[157] and University of Chicago Professor Eric Posner[158] agree with McManamon that Cruz is not eligible. Alan Grayson, a Democratic Member of Congress from Florida, does not believe Cruz is a natural-born citizen, and stated he intends to file a lawsuit should Cruz be the Republican nominee.[159] Orly Taitz, Larry Klayman, and Mario Apuzzo, who each filed multiple lawsuits challenging Obama's eligibility, have also asserted that Cruz is not eligible.[160][161]

Cruz's eligibility has been questioned by some of his primary opponents, including Donald Trump,[162] Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Carly Fiorina, and Rand Paul.[163] Marco Rubio, however, believes Cruz is eligible.[164]

This is from Wikipedia with footnotes to document facts. Not settled is it?

I used wikipedia because it consolidates sources. That is not a full list.
