Donald Trump has made headlines for the attention he paid to Barack Obama’s eligibility for the presidency, going so far as to offer the president $5 million to produce his birth certificate. Now he is weighing in on the presidential eligibility of another first-term senator: GOP rising star Ted Cruz.
In Iowa, where Trump delivered the keynote speech to the Family Leadership Summit — and sparked speculation about a presidential bid of his own — ABC’s Jonathan Karl asked him whether Cruz, who was born in Canada to an American mother, is eligible for the presidency. “Well, if he was born in Canada, perhaps not,” the television host and real-estate magnate responded. “But I’m not sure where he was born.”
Trump, however, was not categorical: “Look, that’ll be ironed out,” he said.
National Review Online has reported on the circumstances of Cruz’s birth and the views of legal experts on the Texas senator’s ;eligibility.
