> Nothing in the Constitution, it’s amendments, US Law, or SCOTUS ruling unambiguously defines “Natural Born” as requiring 2 US Citizens at birth or requiring birth to take place in the US. Until there is something that does unambiguously define those issues as going against Cruz, HE IS eligible to be POTUS.

The Supreme Court has unambiguously stated:

“A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty, as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory, or by authority of congress, exercised either by declaring certain classes of persons to be citizens, as in the enactments conferring citizenship upon foreign-born children of citizens, or by enabling foreigners individually to become citizens by proceedings in the judicial tribunals, as in the ordinary provisions of the naturalization acts.” – U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark

Interesting. That would mean, to me, that such children aren't NBC.

Which gets us back to the dreaded three categories of citizens: NBC, citizen at birth by act of Congress, naturalized. Rather than two: citizen at birth = NBC, naturalized.
