“NO he was born in Canada...remember???”
Yes, born in Canada to a US citizen mother, which made him a US citizen from birth:
Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock
A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child’s birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be the genetic or the gestational parent and the legal parent of the child under local law at the time and place of the child’s birth to transmit U.S. citizenship.
I explained this earlier: Remember: I speak ‘Pennsylvania Dutch’ not going to explain it again...
We are very fortunate the framers we smarter than that.
Ye3s a parent can pass citizenship on to a child born abroad if they apply for recognition. That child may be a citizen, but is not a natural born citizen,
Naturally a citizen because there is no possibility of being anything else and no law is required for that citizenship.
When did Cruz or his parents apply for recognition?
There must be records, oh, that’s right, he had them sealed.
