Alex Wong/Getty Images  by [Katie Reilly](https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/)  ## Katie Reilly Apr 23, 2016 4:36 PM UTC Republican front-runner Donald Trump on Saturday [resumed his questioning](http://www.politico.com/story/2016/04/donald-trump-ted-cruz-canada-222347) of rival Ted Cruz’s presidential eligibility, citing Cruz’s Canadian birth. “The first thing the Democrats are going to do is sue him on the basis that he’s not a naturalized citizen, he wasn’t born in the country,” Trump said at a rally in Connecticut, which holds its primaries on Tuesday, _Politico_ reported. Trump has previously warned that Democrats could file a lawsuit against Cruz if he wins the nomination. He has also [threatened to sue Cruz](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/698231571594276866) himself because the Texas Senator is not a “natural born citizen.” Legal experts have said [a rival candidate could have legal standing](http://time.com/4220213/donald-trump-ted-cruz-legal-standing-citizenship-suit/) to sue Cruz, but it’s not clear how a court would handle the claim. Cruz [renounced his Canadian citizenship](http://time.com/2854513/ted-cruz-canadian-citizenship/) in 2014 and has dismissed the criticism during the campaign, maintaining he is eligible to be president. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4305738/donald-trump-ted-cruz-canadian-birth-eligibility/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4305738/donald-trump-ted-cruz-canadian-birth-eligibility/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Renews Attacks on Ted Cruz's Presidential Eligibility","datePublished":"2016-04-23T16:36:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:46:13.488Z","description":"The frontrunner resumed the debate over Cruz's Canadian birth","url":"https://time.com/4305738/donald-trump-ted-cruz-canadian-birth-eligibility/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9bdd2285fac9d69b/6988906e428a9eba52cd2592/donald-trump-cruz.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9bdd2285fac9d69b/6988906e428a9eba52cd2592/donald-trump-cruz.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump Campaigns In Delaware","caption":"Donald Trump Campaigns In Delaware","creditText":"Alex Wong/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4305738/donald-trump-ted-cruz-canadian-birth-eligibility/","name":"Donald Trump Renews Attacks on Ted Cruz's Presidential Eligibility"}}]}] ```
