I was sick and tired of hearing about Ted Cruz running for President today, when this news just totally made my day. And yes,
it was in the Hill, not the Onion.
Real estate tycoon Donald Trump cast doubt Monday on whether Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) can run for president, because Cruz was born in Canada.
"It’s a hurdle; somebody could certainly look at it very seriously," Trump said during a phone interview Monday on My Fox New York.
"He was born in Canada. If you know and when we all studied our history lessons, you are supposed to be born in this country, so I just don't know how the courts will rule on this."
To recap, Barack Obama was born in the United States to an American mother. Ted Cruz was born in a foreign country, but because his mother was American this arguably makes him a "natural-born citizen" under the U.S. Constitution.
I expect Donald Trump to be just as dogged as demanding Ted Cruz's birth certificate, as he was for Obama.
