Does anyone really believe the founders would consider an "anchor baby" with Chinese parents a natural born citizen that would be eligible to serve as POTUS?

No, and nowhere did I ever imply that they would. A child born of two Chinese parents (i.e., they are not U.S. citizens), is not a natural born American citizen if born in the U.S. That baby is a Chinese citizen. Good grief, read what I've been saying over the last several posts. By your logic, are you implying that because I was born in the U.S. to a citizen father but a non-citizen mother, I am not a natural born citizen? American law requires that at least one of the parents must be a U.S. citizen at the birth of the child in order for that child to be a natural born citizen. That child can be born anywhere.

"Is Ted Cruz's citizenship natural (i.e., established at his birth)"

A Chinese anchor baby is a citizen by birth. And according to you a citizen by birth is a natural born citizen. Dido the children of GI's all over the world. Didi the children of trophy wifes in say Iran. All according to you natural born citizens eligible to serve a POTUS since they too have an American parent and thus are citizens by birth.
