I clicked the link and read the article and NOWHERE in the article does Cruz make the claim that he is eligible to be president. The headline says it but Cruz is not quoted as saying anything about it. Show me the sentence "from Sen. Cruz' mouth" because it must be from some other article! The below is the only mention in the entire article:

Sen. Ted Cruz rejected questions Sunday over his eligibility to be president, saying that although he was born in Canada “the facts are clear” that he’s a U.S. citizen.

Claiming to be a US Citizen and claiming to be a NBC and thus eligible to be president are not the synonymous.

As good a guy as Senator Cruz is and as staunch a conservative, he’s still a politician and by not clarifying whether he was calling himself a natural born citizen or a naturalized citizen, he kind of “weasel worded” his way around the key issue. There will be plenty of opportunities to follow-up with him and clarify exactly what he was saying. Senator Cruz can certainly take the initiative and state categorically that he does NOT consider himself to be eligible. Thus far he hasn’t done that. As I read the article, he certainly left the impression that he considers himself to be a natural born citizen but he has no interest in running for that office at this time.

There are two categories of U.S. citizens: (1) Citizen of the United States At Birth; and (2) Naturalized United States Citizen.
Since Naturalized United States Citizens are barred from eligibility to be President or Vice President, the terms “Natural Born Citizen” and “Citizen of the United States at Birth” have the same requirements.
