You should read and absorb this. It's really quite simple.

Since you are quoting Jeff, you should have used the word "simpleton." It's much more accurate.

Since you are referring to Jeff, you should provide a courtesy 'ping' to him.

Okay then, I'll now quote from a similar Constitutional analysis from a 2011 report prepared by the Congressional Research Office ...

The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term “natural born” citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship “by birth” or “at birth,” either by being born “in” the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship “at birth.” Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an “alien” required to go through the legal process of “naturalization” to become a U.S. citizen.

Even poluttico begrudgingly admits ...None of these situations have ever stopped a candidate from running, and it’s unlikely that Cruz would be the first.
