Five Cullman County residents – all supporters of Donald Trump – filed a federal lawsuit this week against 2016 Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, alleging that the Texas senator is ineligible for the presidency because he's not a natural born citizen.

The Drake Law Firm in Cullman sent the lawsuit to AL.com on Friday. The suit urges the court to declare Cruz "ineligible and disqualified to run/seek the office of president of the United States of America" because he was born in Canada in 1970.

Cruz has maintained that he is eligible to run because his mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth. His campaign did not immediately respond to the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in the first of its kind filed in Alabama.

While the plaintiffs concede that Cruz is a citizen, they contend that Cruz is not a natural-born citizen. They cited a portion of the Constitution that says "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."

"Plaintiffs allege that at the time of Mr. Cruz's birth, the United States could not confer citizenship upon him under any law or legal theory that exists," the lawsuit states. "'Natural born' means native born within the United States or its dominions/territories. Canada is not a territory of the United States. Whether the Defendant's mother was/is a United State's [sic] citizen is irrelevant. If however, she had been an Ambassador to a foreign country; or, stationed in another country while serving in the military, such would not bar Mr. Cruz's candidacy."

I'm not sold on Rubio's eligibility, either (but it's obvious that Hillary shits her pants suit at the thought of running against him).

how
Orly taitz has made what 14 ???
none of them had standing, it didnt stop her...
I seem to remember back in 08 that certain people here claimed Obama wasnt eligible because his mothers age, something stupid like she had not reached age of majority for long enough to be "legal".
The outcry went on for months and years, we still have people who think hes a kenyan.
Notice Trump still wont bring out his truth about the "birth certificate that his "team found" Arpaio never had any luck either did they, it didnt stop them.
POOR Babies,

No matter the "facts" For Cruz it will be found without standing
But im loving the expected knee jerks.

Cruz wasnt born on US soil...unavoidable fact.

Wasn't it already determined that had Obama been born in Nigeria, he'd still be considered a "natural born citizen" of the US because his mother was a US Citizen?

I expect this lawsuit (and any others that pop up) to be as successful (for the same reasons) as the ones against candidate Obama.

The suit has much more merit because there may not have been a certificate of citizenship filed by his mother. Until that is discovered, he is pure Canuck.

And Obama was born in Hawaii, not Kenya.

So, you have a born American Citizen according to law, Barack Obama.
You have a born Canuck who is not an American Citizen according to law, Rafael Cruz.

But it dont matter, the nutsucker is one of the many unelectable nutsuckers who wont be elected.
