Glenn Beck confronts Rand Paul for questioning Cruz's eligibility in brutal interview

“If you’re not a constitutional scholar, if you’re not a constitutional expert, then what the hell are we voting for you for,” Beck said to Paul.

Beck cut him off, saying, “Let me ask this question, what does Rand Paul say, not what the courts say, what does — you know you’ve studied this out in your head enough.

Is he qualified to run for president or not?”

“If I had to guess I would say the courts, in all likelihood, will say yes, but I would say that no court has ever decided what it means to be natural born with regards to eligibility of the president,” said Paul. “I think it’s an open question as far as the courts are concerned.”
