Well according even to the birthers, Chester A Arthur doesn’t fit your requirements.
Free Republic seems to have a lot of constitutional scholars who never studied constitutional law. Every Con Law Professor I’ve asked regarding this birther issue has found it to be completely preposterous.
Additionally, Mark Levin, one of the only national pundits who has a strong knowledge of the Constitution, also believes Cruz and Rubio are constitutionally eligible.

Yes, and as I've noted elsewhere, Mark Levin is a rock-solid conservative who lives and breathes the Constitution.
What the h*** are you talking about? Chester A Arthur is the only one before Obama that DOESN'T fit the requirements, but this fact was not discovered until just a few years ago?

Look, I don't know how smart you are, or how knowledgeable, but the argument that something isn't so because someone else says so is a very old fallacy known as "argumentum ad verecundiam." It's so old it even has a Latin name.
It basically means you can't prove something just by claiming that someone else says so. Authorities are often wrong.
I will further point out, that Constitutional Scholars do not spend any time looking at this topic. It is for them, an inconsequential topic. They merely adopted the common fallacious wisdom on this point. But if for some reason, you feel an emotional need to have constitutional scholars tell you something before you believe it, I have left a big list of Constitutional scholars on Free Republic which support the Vattel definition of natural born citizen.
Here's a link if you want to read some opinions of constitutional scholars.

As Cruz is in EXACTLY the same situation as Aldo Mario Bellei, No doubt Mark Levin would regard Aldo Bellei as constitutionally eligible as well, despite the fact that the Supreme court stripped him of his citizenship.
How can someone who loses their citizenship be a "natural born citizen?"
