Ted Cruz[edit]
Ted Cruz announced on March 22, 2015, that he was running for the Republican Party's nomination for president in the 2016 election.[142] Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada,[143] to a "U.S. citizen mother and a Cuban immigrant father",[144] giving him dual Canadian-American citizenship. Cruz applied to formally renounce his Canadian citizenship and ceased being a citizen of Canada on May 14, 2014.[145][146][147]
Former Solicitor General Paul Clement,[148][149] former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal,[148][149] University of California, Irvine School of Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky,[150] Professor Chin (see above),[144] Temple University Law School Professor Peter Spiro,[151] Professor Akhil Amar,[152] Georgetown University Law Center Professor Randy Barnett,[153] Yale Law School Professor Jack Balkin,[153] and University of San Diego Professor Michael Ramsey[153] 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,[154] and Case Western Reserve University School of Law professor Jonathan H. Adler agrees that no court will rule against Cruz's eligibility.[155]
Laurence Tribe of Harvard, however, described Cruz's eligibility as "murky and unsettled".[156] 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 make it unlikely that courts would rule against Cruz.[157]
Mary McManamon (see above) writing in the Catholic University Law Review[77] believes that Cruz is not eligible because he was not born in the United States.[158] Professor Einer Elhauge of Harvard,[159] Professor Robert Clinton of Arizona State University,[160] University of Chicago Professor Eric Posner,[161] former Chief Justice of the New York Court of Appeals Sol Wachtler,[82] and Professor Victor Williams of Catholic University of America's law school[162] agree 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.[163] Orly Taitz, Larry Klayman, and Mario Apuzzo, who each filed multiple lawsuits challenging Obama's eligibility, have also asserted that Cruz is not eligible.[164][165]
Cruz's eligibility has been questioned by some of his primary opponents, including Donald Trump,[166] Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Carly Fiorina, and Rand Paul.[167]Marco Rubio, however, believes Cruz is eligible.[168]
Two November 2015 ballot challenges in New Hampshire alleging that Cruz was not a natural-born citizen were unsuccessful.[169][170] In December, a similar lawsuit was filed in Vermont,[171] and an unsuccessful lawsuit was filed in Florida.[172][173] In January 2016, a similar lawsuit was filed in Texas,[174][175] a similar unsuccessful lawsuit was filed in Utah,[176][177] and two similar unsuccessful ballot challenges were filed in Illinois.[178][179][180][181][182] In February, two similar unsuccessful lawsuits were filed in Pennsylvania[183][184][185][186][187] and one was filed in Arkansas;[188][189] a similar lawsuit was filed in Alabama;[190] similar unsuccessful ballot challenges were filed in Indiana;[191][192] and similar ballot challenges and an unsuccessful similar lawsuit were also filed in New York.[193][194][195][196] In March, a similar lawsuit was filed in New York.[196] In April, a similar ballot challenge was filed in New Jersey.[162]
