In defining what an Article II natural born Citizen is, we do not seek to read into the Constitution that which was not intended and written there by the Framers. Despite popular belief, the Fourteenth Amendment does not convey the status of natural born Citizen in its text nor in its intent. Some add an implication to the actual wording of the Fourteenth Amendment by equating the amendments citizen to Article IIs natural born Citizen. But nowhere does the 14th Amendment confer natural born citizen status. The words simply do not appear there, but some would have us believe they are implied. But the wording of the Amendment is clear in showing that it confers citizenship only and nothing more.
Neither the 14th Amendment nor Wong Kim Ark make one a Natural Born Citizen

Your arguments are the exact same that the dissenting Justices in the Ark case used. They were not the majority in that decision.

If the conditions thereof were present at birth, it is “natural born” citizenship.
In Cruz’ case his mother definitely met the conditions at the time of his birth.
Troll on!
