From The Washington Post itself:
My take on this. If the Republicans nominate Cruz over Trump, they have showed themselves to be even stupider than Trump supporters. What sort of idiot nominates a guy who can't even be President? Are you trying to give the Democrats a free pass at the elections?
*snipped,meme posts are unneeded -Jester Joe*Ted Cruz is not eligible to be president
By Mary Brigid McManamon January 12 at 11:24 AM
Mary Brigid McManamon is a constitutional law professor at Widener University’s Delaware Law School.
Donald Trump is actually right about something: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is not a natural-born citizen and therefore is not eligible to be president or vice president of the United States.
The Constitution provides that “No person except a natural born Citizen . . . shall be eligible to the Office of President.” The concept of “natural born” comes from common law, and it is that law the Supreme Court has said we must turn to for the concept’s definition. On this subject, common law is clear and unambiguous. ... The Americans who drafted the Constitution adopted this principle for the United States. James Madison, known as the “father of the Constitution,” stated, “It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. . . . [And] place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States.”

And the White House said Trump isn't qualified. Nothing means nothing until SCOTUS says something about it. With that said it might be worth it for him to run because you better believe the Democrats are ready to sue and hold up the courts until he is irrelevant. Doesn't matter if he ultimately wins his case or not, they will drag their feet until he drops out of the election or it passes him by.

It would define on record what it means to be a naturalized citizen, which as we see can be vague at times. Originally Posted by Kalis

Is there really not a system in place that determines a candidate's eligibility before entering a Presidential race?
Why must these questions be asked to far into a campaign?

The push for Cruz has always amused me after all that ridiculous Birther bullshit. I mean, this guy was actually born in another country. Like, it's not even a secret. But, that's OK for a lot of the same people who lost their shit to completely groundless bullshit about Obama.
People are perplexing.

It doesnt really matter. We should all just take him for his word that he is eligible with no proof as were required to do with Obama. I dont want to hear any democrats complaining about his eligibility Originally Posted by cant cook clean or iron

All this does is galvanize more people against the Democrats and showcase their desperation to maintain their power.
Deny if you like, but you'll see. =)
Edit: Damnit Orlong you made me spit my coffee out. I want Trump to say that on election day now.

I would imagine most if not all the questioning is going to be coming from Trump and his allies. Funny how he is your Avatar. Originally Posted by Orlong

He shouldn't be President because he comes across as a bad Bond villain trying to act like Ward Cleaver. If it's him and Hillary, I'll go independent again.

I wouldnt say they think its OK, I think they look at it as payback for being demonized for even daring to question the almighty Obama's eligibility Originally Posted by Notchris

No see what we should do is complain and bitch and moan until we finally get proof, then ignore the proof and continue to whine bitch and moan about him not being eligible. Originally Posted by Orlong

Race has nothing to do with the hatred for Obama in at least 75% of his haters. Its his policies. And let me tell you a little secret. Obama isnt black, he just looks it. He is actually mixed race Originally Posted by Tiase
