There is over 100 years of accepted definition for natural born citizen. Cruz meets that parameter.
A citizen of the United States is either a naturalized citizen or natural born, there is no 3rd option. Cruz is not a naturalized citizen because he is by definition a natural born citizen.
His mother as a citizen does have to meet certain basic requirements for TC to be considered an American citizen which she did/does.
A few lower courts might play politics with this early on but once it moves up to any serious judiciation, Liberal or Conservative the ruling must be the same.
“A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty, as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory, or by authority of congress, exercised either by declaring certain classes of persons to be citizens, as in the enactments conferring citizenship upon foreign-born children of citizens, or by enabling foreigners individually to become citizens by proceedings in the judicial tribunals, as in the ordinary provisions of the naturalization acts.” U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 702-703
:: Cruz is not a naturalized citizen because he is by definition a natural born citizen ::
There is a concern with such a statement since...there IS no “by definition” of natural born citizen.
