Texas Lawyer Files Federal 'Birther' Suit Against Ted Cruz

[Lakhota]

A veteran attorney in Ted Cruz's hometown of Houston has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the Canadian-born senator's eligibility to be president.

In a 28-page complaint Thursday, Newton Schwartz asked the Supreme Court to decide if Cruz's birth to an American mother and Cuban father while they lived in Calgary violates the Constitution's "natural born citizen" requirement.

Cruz argues that because his mother is American, he became a U.S. citizen at birth. But the Supreme Court hasn't previously considered the eligibility question.

Thank you, Sir! Now, things should get interesting regarding Cruz's presidential eligibility.

Cruz may be an American citizen - but he is not a "natural-born" American citizen.

Ted Cruz is not eligible to be president

Is Ted Cruz a 'natural born Citizen'? Not if you're a constitutional originalist.

Harvard law professor: Ted Cruz’s eligibility to be president is ‘murky and unsettled’

Does the guy have standing ? It's not like the Texas primary is coming up just yet.

 

[Auld Phart]

May take a couple of weeks for a decision, if they even take it up.

I figure even Ruth will wet herself laughing over that suit.

That is drawing a fine line between being American & being born on American soil & just how that fits into the Constitution. Who knows what they were thinking at the time they wrote it?

Anyone born in such circumstances automatically have 'triple citizenship' to each country, as long as both parents held legal citizenship to their own country their children would be dual citizens to each of their parents & the country they were born in.

Check to see if that lawyer is on Trump's payroll.

OMG, now Orly Taitz is on the case:

'Birther' Orly Taitz: Ted Cruz Has 'Basically the Same Issue as Obama'

Orly Taitz "Consistent" in Claiming Ted Cruz Can't Be President for Same Reason as Obama

Right wing bs came back to haunt them!


Cruz the canuck. Canucky Cruz.
The Representative from Canada.
The Queens subject Cruz

Come on--We got to think of a title for him!!

 

[SuperDemocrat]

Now birtherism is OK???

I think that so many people wanted to bow down and worship Obama as a quasi-deity that they don't want to admit he isn't qualified to be a US president. We already know he isn't qualified because he sucks so much but the fact that Kenya has been mission one of its citizens for the last eight years should cause a lot of alarms to ring. Sadly, only Cruz will be subject to those alarms.

Why would teabaggers want a Canadian president?

Be careful what you wish for, you may get an outcome that invalidates your dear leaders presidency.

Unlike Commie Canuck Cruz, President Obama was born on American soil.

Maybe we should call Cruz "The Cuban Canuck"? or "The Spanish Canuck"

Or just "The Canuck" ?

I sincerely thank Orly Taitz for her opinion on Cruz's eligibility.

Not really, all those unconstitutional EO's nullified, along with every other document he's signed.
