Reporter wall street stocks took a nose dive plunging 392 points, officially putting the market into correction territory. This is a weird start to 2016. Reporter it was the worst day for the dow in three months as troubles in chinas economy sent jitters across the pacific. Chinas stock market slipped about 7 thursday after its currency fell to its lowest level against the dollar since trading in china was automatically halted setting off another slump in asian and european stocks.

Im not a constitutional scholar on that, but i think its worth looking into. I dont think its illegitimate to look into it. Reporter mccains comments, particularly notable since he, too, was born outside the u. S. , and faced questions about whether he was fit to be president.

Reporter so, you think he should explain how he was born in canada and why . Well, or at least just mention it. Reporter and we did speak with constitutional scholars. The general consensus is cruz is eligible to be president. That said, the Supreme Court has never ruled on this issue. But if cruz were to take this to court, the experts tell us, he would win.
