"Cruz was naturalized"

I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. He was not, "naturalized" he was a citizen at birth, by definition, according to the law at the time and circumstance of his birth (natural citizenship).

...according to the law at the time...

The "law" you keep using is a naturalization law, the only kind of law Congress is empowered by the Constitution to enact.

Please do, however, keep using that naturalization law as your erroneous vehicle of choice.

Natural born citizens are citizens by birth, not at birth. Naturalized at birth citizens are citizens at birth, because the statutory law allows the parent and/or child to elect at a point in time after birth whether or not to adopt and perfect the right to acquire U.S. citizenship applied to a point in time at birth. Naturalized U.S. citizens voluntarily acquire U.S. citizenships, whereas natural born citizens of the U.S. acquire that citizenship involuntarily by birth.
