Behind the Blue Wall @6: Nobody knows for a fact that he was a U.S. citizen from the "time he left his mother's womb".

Well, yes we do. That's what "natural born" means: from the time a person leaves his mother's womb and is born.

That doesn't happen automatically, and we've yet to see the documentation that it did.

Well, yes we have, as well as the birth certificate of his mother.

No she could’ve renounced her citizenship before he was born, or maybe just failed to register his birth in the US.

Natural born citizen (NBC) means of the soil and of the blood. It does not mean citizen at birth. The founders put the NBC clause into our constitution to prevent our military falling into the hands of someone not entirely loyal to this republic and its' constitution. Look no further than the current administration to see the wisdom of only allowing a NBC to serve as president.

Cruz is a naturalized citizen, naturalized via 1934 legislation which allows a child to gain citizenship thru its' mother. Prior to that legislation Cruz would not even be a citizen of the USA! A real NBC needs no legislation to be considered a citizen. A real NBC is a citizen naturally by just the facts of its' birth on soil to citizen parents.
