Cruz’s New York eligibility case will get its day in court on Super Tuesday

Canadian-born Sen. Ted Cruz faces similar legal battles over his presidential eligibility in Pennsylvania, Illinois and Texas, where voters have filed suits claiming he is not a natural-born citizen.

A New York judge will hear a case against Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential eligibility Tuesday – one of four cases around the country aiming to kick Cruz off primary ballots.

Your Answer To The Big Question you Have .

Senator Cruz’s entry does bring about some very interesting questions. 

Presidential Eligibility

In the 2008 election both major parties nominated candidates whose eligibility is dubious. For Barack Obama the question was whether he was born in Hawaii, which is U.S. soil. For John McCain the question was whether the Panama Canal Zone, where he was born, was U.S. soil. It is not, and being born of parents both of whom were U.S. citizens did not make him a "natural-born" citizen, although a statute was later adopted naturalizing such persons at birth.
