“[The Founding Fathers] used this unusual language in the Constitution of ‘natural born’, and so I think it will be brought up,” the Kentucky Republican continued. “Congressman [Alan] Grayson from Florida is already saying he’s going to challenge it in court.

Cruz, the GOP front-runner in Iowa, was born in Canada to an American mother and Cuban father.
