Donald Trump responded to Sen. Ted Cruz jumping in the contest for the 2016 Republican nomination by questioning Cruzs eligibility to be president.
When asked by My Fox New York about Cruzs birth certificate, Trump said, Its a hurdle; somebody could certainly look at it very seriously. 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 dont know how the courts will rule on this.
Being that Cruz is a Republican, Trump didnt demand that the Texas Republican provide the original copy of his birth certificate, but Trump couldnt resist going birther. Legal scholars agree that because Cruzs mother was a natural born U.S. citizen and his father was a U.S. resident, Cruz qualifies as a natural born citizen and is eligible to run for president.
