New Jersey’s secretary of state has scheduled a hearing to make Ted Cruz prove he is eligible to run for president under the Constitution. This action resulted from the challenge filled by a Washington-area law professor Victor Williams who is also a write-in presidential candidate in New Jersey. The challenge is arguing that Ted Cruz’s Canadian birth makes him ineligible.
In 2014 Senator Ted Cruz officially renounced his Canadian citizenship to enable him run for president.
By doing so, Ted Cruz actually confirmed his original Canadian citizenship and that makes him ineligible to be president of the United States.
Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution adopted in 1789 states that "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; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States".
