His parents were not US citizens... He is what is called an anchor baby. He is a citizen, but not a natural born citizen.

Then what about Bobbie Jindel and Gov. Haley from SC? The only way to be born in 1789 was natural born, within the colonies or terroritories. McCain was technically born on US soil as he was born on a military base. A person born inside an embassy abroad would be a citizen as that is considered US property, ergo the reality that Benghazi was an attack on US soil.

Cruz is the only one not on technical US soil. I wish he was ineligible but think that the courts would side with him by virtue of his mother's citizenship. Just like children of ex-pats are US citizens even if they are living in Paris at the time of their births. It also means that Churchill could have run for President as he was born in England but his mother was still a US citizen.
