The Hill – by Bradford Richardson
Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to bring a lawsuit challenging rival Ted Cruz’s eligibility to serve as president — unless the Texas senator “clean[s] up his act.”
“If [Ted Cruz] doesn’t clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen,” Trump said in a tweet.
If @TedCruz doesn’t clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen.

Trump promised at a January GOP presidential debate not to sue Cruz over the issue.
“I’m not bringing a lawsuit,” he said. “I promise. But the Democrats are going to bring a lawsuit.”
The billionaire businessman’s comments come after several of his supporters filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Cruz’s presidential run.
Cruz, a constitutional lawyer and former Texas solicitor general, has maintained that he is eligible to be president, noting the distinction between naturalized and natural-born citizen.
He was born in Canada to an American mother and Cuban father.
Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution states “no person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of president.”
No difference between Cruz’ birth and Obama’s, only Obama managed to bury his behind a state issued birth certificate.
Trumps other trademark besides “Your Fired” is…
“I’ll Sue”….
I wonder if he has Jewish lawyers…. hmmmmm.
This is evidence that Trump will not uphold the laws of the land. He is only threating to shut Cruz up. He, like the others know what the con. says, but will not enforce it.
If he can’t be trusted while running for pres., what makes people think he will be trustworthy if elected?
I think his strategy his to get it out in front of the people by threatening to. Nearly as effective, and a hell of a lot cheaper, than a court battle. At this point he can’t enforce anything, & none of us know what he’ll do in the future. He’s sure good at playing the media, & getting headlines.lol!
UNDER WHICH JURISDICTION ASSHOLE? CRUZ IS A “CITZEN OF THE UNITED STATES INC”, JUST LIKE BARRY BIG EARS.HOPE HENRY TEACHES MORE ON JURISDICTION…….
“I’m not bringing a lawsuit,” he said. “I promise. But the Democrats are going to bring a lawsuit.”
About the ONLY thing that makes these ‘presidential campaign’ sideshow freaks the least bit interesting is watching the mudslinging progress.
Anyone who hasn’t figured out by now this is nothing more than a three ring circus…
That settles it.
You will be choosing between Cruz and Clinton in November.
