But Ted Cruz (as delightful as he is) is not and has not been elected to be POTUS. So you cannot use him as an example of why Obambam is legal.
Natural Born citizen is the child of parents who were citizens. I don’t know if one citizen parent is enough. But, probably that is OK, since the post in Canada was temporary. Her citizenship would pass to her baby.
Thanks for the info.
Did Ted Cruz ever have to go through a citizenship test?
If the answer is NO, then he is “Natural Born”.
And if he did, I am sure he could easily pass it, unlike the Teleprompter reader.
That's not necessarily correct. According to the Foreign Affairs manual published by the U.S. Department of State, statutory citizenship may or may not be equivalent to natural-born citizenship under the U.S. Constitution.

(TL:CON-68; 04-01-1998)a. It has never been determined definitively by a court whether a person who acquired U.S. citizenship by birth abroad to U.S. citizens is a natural born citizen within the meaning of Article II of the Constitution and, therefore, eligible for the Presidency.

d. (snip) In any event, the fact that someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional purposes.
