Grayson vows to file lawsuit on Cruz citizenship

53. I think it is a serious issue.

This is a constitutional question ... it isn't a matter of interpreting a regulation or a bureaucratic rule.

Prof. Tribe noted that last night; we don't get to just kind of decide that "natural born" in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 is outdated so we can ignore it.

Your point is well taken -- if Cruz's parent were not citizens, but he was born inside the borders of the United States, no one would be talking about this. But there are questions about the founders' intent in the "natural born Citizen" phrase in the presidential qualifications section of the Constitution and there are apparently questions about Cruz's mother's status in Canada.

My gut tells me that there may very well be a problem with Cruz's presidential qualifications status.

We have a right to know the whole truth -- especially if he becomes the Repuglican nominee.

And, disturbingly, I think Trump is correct about this, too. You would think that it would be the Repuglicans themselves that should be most interested in finding out the facts -- it would be a disaster of huge proportions for them if Cruz were disqualified after getting the nomination.
