Two Tennessee state lawmakers are pushing legislation seemingly aimed at disqualifying Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz from receiving The Volunteer State’s 11 electorate votes.

Cruz2State Sen. Jeff Yarbro and state Rep. Jason Powell introduced identical legislation Jan. 21 that “prohibits name of presidential candidate being on ballot unless the candidate is a natural born citizen of the United States; prohibits presidential electors from voting for a candidate who is not a natural born citizen,” according to the General Assembly website.

Cruz’s mother was an American citizen living in Canada when he was born, a fact that Republican presidential rival Donald Trump has repeatedly used to question Cruz’s status as “a natural born citizen” in recent weeks.

The focus centers mostly on the definition of those eligible to run for president spelled out in the U.S. Constitution, which states “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 ….”

Tennessee’s HB 2595 and SB 2625 simply reiterate the constitutional definition.

Yarbro, a Democrat, told Talking Points Memo the legislation “isn’t about any one candidate,” but acknowledged questions about Cruz “highlighted” the issue.

He also acknowledged “there’s a division of opinion” on the definition of “natural born citizen.”

“Scholars have weighed in on both sides,” he said.

Powell, also a Democrat, said he’s “hopeful” to gain bipartisan support for the measure “to protect the integrity of our election here in Tennessee,” TPM reports.

Others claim to be doing the same.

A Utah man this week filed a federal lawsuit challenging Cruz’s eligibility and asking a judge to declare the senator is not a natural born citizen, the Associated Press reports.

Walter L. Wagner contends that as a voter he has an interest in settling the question.

“Having an unqualified candidate compete with the numerous qualified candidates potentially skews the results of those events, and potentially places him in a position of unlawfully serving as president should someone else not challenge his candidacy based on his lack of ‘natural born’ status,” Wagner wrote in the lawsuit filed in Salt Lake City, according to the Desert News.

Wagner cited legal arguments on the issue made by Widener University law professor Mary Brigid McManamon in a Washington Post op-ed.

Wagner also filed a lawsuit in 2008 against the U.S. Department of Energy and European Center for Nuclear Energy Research “claiming the government agencies were covering up the threat that the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator could create a black hole and destroy the Earth,” according to the news site.

That case was dismissed.

In the Jan. 14 Republican debate, Cruz said “the facts and the law here are really quite clear.

“Under longstanding U.S. law, the child of a U.S. citizen born abroad is a natural-born citizen.”
