Coulter, as usual, is just as wrong as you are: totally.

Cruz was born a citizen under our laws.

You are strong in your beliefs but resistant to nuance.

Ted Cruz had the potential to be a natural born citizen at the time of his birth despite being born in Canada. His mother needed to document the birth and her status at the time or later to protect that status as a citizen at birth. That is the law. If she did not do it at birth there was a window before he was 18 where he would still be adjudged as a citizen from birth. I’m sure that was done and documented so this issue has no legs once the facts emerge. This is important because it is an issue the Dems can use.

Citizenship is not automatic when you are born outside the country even with a citizen parent you need to prove the citizen parent’s bona fides. It is not even automatic inside this country; if you are born at home you need to register the birth to get a birth certificate. That birth certificate proves you are born in America.
