“Please show me in the US Constitution the relevant parts that define “Natural Born” as requiring 2 citizen parents?”

The US Constitution explicitly distinguishes between the natural born citizens and those born outside of the united states who become citizens. Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution.

Why did the Fathers include this? They included this because they wanted to be sure that the highest office in the land was someone who was free of entanglements and was loyal to the united states, in an empirical fashion that would not change. You can purchase and acquire citizenship - where you are born cannot change.

Cruz was born in Canada. He does not have an American birth certificate. He has a Canadian birth certificate, a Canadian passport and he is a natural born Canadian citizenship, acquired from birth in Calgary Alberta.

Thus, he falls afoul of Article II section 1 of the US constitution. He is not eligible.

They did....so tell me where Ted violates this or kindly politely and with all due respect STFU.

Once again for those born in Rio Linda:

Please show me in the US Constitution the relevant parts that define "Natural Born" as requiring 2 citizen parents?

Lacking that, please provide references/links to relevant US Laws passed by Congress and signed by a US President that define the "Natural Born" requirement as needing 2 citizen parents.

Lacking that, please provide references/links to Supreme Court rulings that define "Natural Born" as needing 2 citizen parents.

Until you can do that, there is no Constitutional requirement with regards to POTUS "Natural Born" requiring 2 citizen parents.

That much is true. The rest is complete supposition on your part. Are you a Supreme Court Justice about to rule in the majority that favors your decision? No? Why waste my time spouting your opinions as facts?
