Lawyer Lawrence Joyce challenged Cruz's eligibility to hold the office of president because he was born in Canada.

"What I fear is that Ted Cruz becomes the nominee, come September, Congressman Alan Grayson of Florida will go forward with his threats and probably several other Democrats will file suit to prevent Ted Cruz from being on the ballot," Joyce told USA Today last month.

“I’m waiting for the moment that he gets the nomination, and then I will file that beautiful lawsuit saying that he’s unqualified for the job because he’s ineligible,” Grayson said in a radio interview in November.

“Call me crazy, but I think the president of America should be an American."

The Senator was born in Calgary to a Cuban father and American mother and had dual citizenship. Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship after winning his Senate race is in 2012.
