yes
reread your own “fact”
Cruz mother fits well within the parameters of the current laws
‘(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years

BUT more importantly Cruz fits into the laws applicable at the time of his birth

applicable
What are the rules for people born between December 23, 1952 and November 13, 1986?

Again, children born abroad to two US citizen parents were US citizens at birth, as long as one of the parents resided in the US at some point before the birth of the child.

When one parent was a US citizen and the other a foreign national, the US citizen parent must have resided in the US for a total of 10 years prior to the birth of the child, with five of the years after the age of 14. An exception for people serving in the military was created by considering time spent outside the US on military duty as time spent in the US.”

A citizen at birth by statute is not a natural born citizen.

Congressional power vis-a-vis citizenship extends to naturalization only. Any citizen by statute is naturalized.

All that means is Cruz is a citizen by statute, but not a natural born Citizen by natural law.

Here is the difference:

A statutory citizen (bestowed by man’s pen) can never be a “natural born” citizen (bestowed by God/nature).
