Seriously.
I can't quite get over this.
The man was just factually born in another country.
BTW by my reading of the law he has every right to be President if he's elected. I'm just shaking my head here at his supporters.

When would the lawsuits start? Surely the Supreme Court would decide on this. Would it be after he won the nomination? Or would it wait until he was elected president?

Ted Cruz was born in a foreign country; his father was not a U.S. citizen; and only because his mother was from Delaware does Cruz claim to be a "natural born" citizen.
By Tea Party standards, Cruz is simply not eligible to run for President of the United States.
