By law, in order to confer cictizenship, a parent had to have 14 years of US residency, 5 after the age of 14. Dunham was 18 and did not meet this requirement. For Cruz, we would just need residency documents for his mom...
That rule is mitigated by timing and by location of the birth.
We have dissected it since 2007 but the mitigator is the point that the birth in the above regulation is one without a “legal” father (unmarried mother giving birth on foreign soil).
In Cruz’s case, the father was in a legal marriage and his father’s nationality, under common and accepted legal interpretaiton, determined Cruz’s citizenship at birth; he is simultaneously Candian by birth-location, Cuban by his father’s nationality and US by his mother’s nationality.
That tri-nationality directly mitigates against his Article 2 NBC eligibility.
Accordingly, this regulation does not touch on the NBC of Article 2, only the consideration of legal benefits of a US citizen. While this clarifies “citizenship” in a modern world of extensive travel, NBC was not changed according to what you cited.
NBC remained “born of 2 US citizens on US soil”, later agreed-to (amended to?) “on foreign soil while the parents were in service to the interests of US”.
CAVEAT (1): I’m on record agreeing to Obama’s citizenship as conferred by his umwed mother and birth on US sooil. What, then, is he hiding in his offical birth record and how was he enabled to attend US colleges after his stint in Indonesia?
CAVEAT (2): I think Cruz has represented me admirably in the US Senate and I will continue to suppiort him in his Senate endeavors.
For Cruz, we would just need residency documents for his mom...

No we dont...

she was born in Delaware of US citizen parents...
she was an American working in Canada...
its Ted’s father who was the foreigner at the time of his birth..
about Obama’s Mom..
that 19+ thingy for the mother to pass on US citizenship would only apply if he was born overseas..
since Obama was born on US soil (supposedly Hawaii) he is a US citzn in his own right...
not an NBC but still an American at bith..
The genie is out of the bottle about NBC requirements..
and hes not going back..
