You seem pretty well versed in this. I’ve seen the Canadian BC for Cruz, is this the one he shows to get a drivers license and into schools?
How does it prove his citizenship? Does just the fact it says his mom was born here do it?
Thanks.

I've seen it too. I don't know what he used for a driver's license, school, US passport, etc. So I can't say. Maybe he has a form FS-240 (Consular Report of Birth Abroad). If so, perhaps he should release it.
How does it prove his citizenship?
Under US law, he acquired his citizenship at birth via his mother. She bequeathed her citizenship to him at birth.
Does just the fact it says his mom was born here do it?
The short answer is yes, without a doubt. The longer answer is that she might have renounced her citizenship before the child was born, but that is a big step, and requires very specific actions, which are part of the public record. There is no evidence to indicate that Ted Cruz's mother did not remain a SU citizen for her entire lifetime.
