As herself ---a natural born U.S. citizen.
Which, as far as I can tell, would bring us to
I'll leave it to you to find the qualifying statutory language, for yourself.
Once you do so (and even if you remain unclear, conflicted on the point -- or are persuaded to continue to rely upon the list of citations you have kindly enough supplied to us here) then I do ask that upon the next occasion which you speak of this subject on this forum, that you also provide and circulate the link which I just supplied to you for your own study.
That is the statute that is nearest to the subject matter, and which language leaves it clear enough that Cruz was at birth, a citizen of the United States due to the by now well established qualification of his own natural mother being a citizen of the United States, other past centuries conditional legal arguments pertaining to persons being subjects of sovereign rulers or foreign lands such as you have taken pains to gather and publish citation of, notwithstanding.
What matters now far more the those past court cases, is what the laws have by now have evolved to be, it being quite difficult from a legal standpoint to justify ignoring clear language in a statute having been signed into law short of finding Constitutional defect in codified language if law, which (I assume) was adopted by Congress (Senate and House of Representatives) and signed into law by an acting President of the United States, at each juncture of the listed changes, the next link from Cornell University including notes as to the what and when of past modifications to the Code.
Trump and I agree, Cruz is NBC.
Isn’t Trump always right?

It is the very essence of the condition of a natural born citizen, of one who is a member of the state by birth within and under it, that his rights are not derived from the mere will of the state.
The New Englander, Vol. III, pg. 434 (1845)
A statute that proclaims someone to be a citizen by birth is an act of naturalization and, therefore, anyone who derives their citizenship from such an act is a naturalized citizen and is, therefore, not a Natural Born Citizen. If Ted Cruz bases his citizenship status off of a naturalization act, he is immediately not a NBC and is ineligible to be POTUS in accordance with article II, section I, clause 5 which states:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;
You will note that it does not say: No Person except a citizen at birth as a result of any future naturalization act, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;
