“And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens”
So clearly Cruz (and McCain) are natural born citizens. And would have been regarded as such by the founding fathers.

The Congress and President (Washington) who passed that declaration included nearly half of the Signers of the Constitution.
For the hundreth time, his father was not a U.S.citizen.
So I guess you are saying that those of us who said that Obama was not a natural born citizen were wrong.

McCain>>> Two 2 US citizen parents born in Canal Zone = Natural Born Citizen
Cruz >>> One us citizen parent and one non citizen parent born on Canadian soil = dual citizenship.
You can not be both a dual citizen and Natural Born Citizen at the same time. And since NBC status is determined at birth. Renouncing citizenship later in life can not make one a natural Born Citizen retroactively.
The whole idea of the Natural Born requirement was to avoid any possibility of dual loyalties. Now, I do believe that Cruz is a loyal American But allowing him to ignore the NBC requirement will open the door to others who will not share his sentiments.
