Oh, is the queen of Jordan resident in the United States? As for Churchill, his mother became a British subject and lived the rest of her life in England. Cruz’s mother was a temporary resident of Canada.
What I saw Cruz say is that a child of one American citizen is a Natural Born citizen (despite being born out of the country).
It seems like a very gray area.
Not being a lawyer I prefer the simpler explanation:
a child of 2 American citizen who is born in the USA.
Even the lawyers disagree so what do I know - but one parent with a kid born wherever seems like a really low bar.
