A NATURAL born citizen is made such by the Laws of Nature. It is inherited by blood, so the citizenship of the child follows the citizenship of the NATURAL parents. This is a citizen BY birth. Ted Cruz is not a natural-born citizen.

So then if a mother is a citizen then how is it that a child born to that mother NOT a citizen based on "inheritence by blood"?

It IS inheritance by blood...but it takes more than a mother to make a child, so the wholesale discounting of not only the citizenship of the father, but his very existence is patently ridiculous.
