Natural born citizen means a citizen at birth. Cruz was born in Canada but his mother was US citizen by birth and his father a naturalized citizen. That makes Cruz a citizen at birth and eligible for the Presidency.
I was under the impression that his father was NOT a citizen and not apply for citizenship until after Ted was born,,well after. If wrong, I apologize, but I remember reading that..perhaps on FR, I can’t recall the source.

You are right, according to wikipedia Cruz’s father became a citizen in 2005. Not sure how Cruz is accepted as a nat born citizen but Ob@sturd was not.
