The eligibility of Sen. Ted Cruz to run for president will have a hearing Friday in Chicago, according to multiple news outlets.

CNN is reporting that a judge in Illinois on Friday will hear a lawsuit challenging Ted Cruz’s eligibility to serve as president, putting questions about the Texas senator’s status back into the news the day before the South Carolina primary.

Cruz has never denied being born in Canada, arguing that longstanding U.S. statutory law validates his claim that he was automatically a U.S. citizen at birth because his mother was a U.S. citizen.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s foreign birth is raising questions — most notably from Republican rival Donald Trump — about whether Cruz is eligible for the presidency under the Constitution.

“Two prominent lawyers who served as U.S. solicitor general, one under President Obama and the other under President George W. Bush, said the history of the Constitution and the first naturalization law resolved any doubts,” reports The Los Angeles Times.

The report adds that Cruz could expect legal challenges, but those lawsuits probably would gain little traction in the courts.
