You left the 14th Amendment out of your Constitutional research. Big mistake.
Because the 14th shift the presumption of the federal Court system to the US Code.
And at 8 U.S. Code § 1401, it says, “Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen.”
Look it up.
Please note, “the single question” decided by the WONG court was whether or not WONG was a “citizen of the United States” "at the time of his birth" “by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution” NOT whether or not WONG was an Article II "natural-born citizen” of the United States, and thus eligible to the office of President.
But the 14th did not, in Sec 1, give congress any new powers over citizenship.
John Bingham (Congressman, Judge, and a framer of the 14th Amendment), on Congressional record of the House on March 9, 1866 during the discussion concerning the 14th Amendment said the following concerning it:
“[I] find no fault with the introductory clause, which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.”
