Pay attention. Only one parent has to be a natural-born citizen.
Incorrect. Neither parent needs to be a natural born Citizen. Both parents Do need to be citizens of any type (including naturalized).
The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.

Citizenship Terms Used in the U.S. Constitution - The 5 Terms Defined & Some Legal Reference to Same
"The citizenship of no man could be previous to the declaration of independence, and, as a natural right, belongs to none but those who have been born of citizens since the 4th of July, 1776."....David Ramsay, 1789.
Cruz was born a Canadian and ultimately renounced his Canadian citizenship and, thereby, became a naturalized citizen of the United States. In order for any alien to gain citizenship in the US, he or she must swear an oath of citizenship and renounce any allegiances to any other countries that they may have formerly been a citizen of. This is called “naturalization” and it is not the same as “natural born”. By renouncing his Canadian citizenship, he became a naturalized citizen.
Wow. So now we don’t require a POTUS have a US birth certificate. Amazing.
Good luck getting that genie back in the bottle.
