I will challenge your citizenship in court if you further provoke me-Donald Trump threatens Ted Cruz

Donald Trump might well be prepared to unleash a nightmare scenario for the Republican Party. On Friday, the GOP frontrunner announced via Twitter that he is considering a lawsuit against his closest rival for his party’s presidential nomination, Texas senator Ted Cruz. Accusing Cruz of “cheating” and taking issue with his opponent’s use of negative campaign ads, Trump posted a notice that he challenge Cruz’s citizenship in court if he is further provoked.
It’s something of a variation on a tactic adopted by Donald Trump months ago, when he began a public campaign questioning whether or not Ted Cruz can legally serve as President of the United States. While both of Cruz’s parents are Americans, Cruz himself was born in Canada. Experts differ as to whether or someone is eligible to serve as President under the aforementioned circumstances.

In 2008, similar concerns were raised regarding John McCain during his candidacy for president. According to the Huffington Post, the United States Senate stepped in during that controversy and passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural-born citizen. But when Donald Trump initially forced the issue about Cruz, government brass was reluctant to step in.
“I just don’t think the Senate ought to get into the middle of this,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in early January. “These guys are all slugging it out in Iowa and New Hampshire. We’ll have a nominee, hopefully, by sometime in the spring.”
