Alright Republicans...STOP Questioning Ted Cruz's Eligibility To Be President!

[TrollBuster9090]

WE'LL do that AFTER he gets the nomination, and the election campaign is well underway.

1. What happens if he wins, then a month before he is sworn in...

The Supreme Court says he's not eligible? Who becomes President? His Vice President-elect Rand Paul, Hillary Clinton (who lost by one point), or House Speaker Ryan?

2. The same thing that's happened the last eight years.

A never ending squabble.

3. The SCOTUS won't touch it.

Nobody will have standing to bring such a case before the SCOTUS.

Of the hundreds of lawsuits brought against Obama over eligibility, every last one of them was thrown out due to a lack of standing.

The SCOTUS has pretty much let this become a political question rather than a legal question.

4. Obama was born in the USA not Canada! n/t

[MohRokTah]

5. That doesn't matter. Not a single court in the country ruled on his eligibility.

No court in the land was willing to say beyond a reasonable legal doubt that Barack Obama was eligible to be president.

The constitution is clear, the branch of government with the power to determine eligibility is the legislative branch. The judicial branch will have nothing to do with the question.

7. The VP and either house leader or VP turned president picks

I don't remember which happens.

[Angleae]

8. IF the supreme court takes the case and says he's not eligible, the VP becomes president.

However, it's highly unlikely they'll even take the case simply because there's no definition of "natural born citizen."

6. We can't allow our selves to be as stupid as trump and the rest of the repukes are.
