Sorry (sincerely sorry) but the good Senator “Ted” Cruz’s daddy was not an American citizen when “Ted” was born.
Please point out the relevant part of the US Constitution that supports your opinion of the meaning of "Natural Born" citizenship requirements.

Lacking that, please point out the relevant law pass by the US Congress and signed by a US President that supports your opinion of the meaning of "Natural Born" citizenship requirements.

Lacking that, please point out the relevant US Supreme Court ruling that supports your opinion of the meaning of "Natural Born" citizenship requirements.

If you can't provide any of the above, you don't have a leg to stand on, constitutionally speaking.

You see, the founders of this country (those guys who wrote the US Constitution) were really smart guys and with the exception of Slavery (for very real and well-stated reasons) covered everything that they could think of at the time in detail. I sincerely doubt that if they thought as you do on this subject, they would have overlooked this issue and not have left clear requirements/or a definition in the Constitution.

Does not seem very likely.

Some germane citations that anyone researching this would consider ..for starters..., per your request...
US Constitution Article II, Section 1, Clause 5.
Minor v. Happensett, 21 Wall 162, 166-168 (1874)
US v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US 649 (1898)
Perkins v. Elg, 307US325 (1939).
(There are additional authorities that should probably also be consulted to place the entire subject of how our Founding Fathers sought to insure, as best they could, the loyalty of Presidents.)
