No, I’m so sorry but no.
Ted Cruz, born of an American mother was entitled to apply for citizenship at birth. His mother or later he needed to provide documentation including his Canadian BC, his Mother’s BC, her proofs of residency etc. They would be vetted by the Consulate or if done later by the Dept Of Naturalization and he would be awarded citizenship if he met the criterion for citizenship. Ted Cruz has citizenship by statute not natural born citizenship.

Ted Cruz, born of an American mother was entitled to apply for citizenship at birth.

You are confusing the recognition of citizenship from the paperwork with the citizenship itself. If Baby Ted Cruz was kidnapped from the Canadian hospital before any paperwork was filed, the international incident would be that of an American citizen being held hostage. If Mrs. Cruz was adrifty at sea, and there was no consulate around, and no doctor or bureaucrat to admit that Baby Ted was, in fact, born, and some Algerian pirates came on board and took Baby Ted, again, he'd be considered an American citizen, not a baby with no country, or an Algerian.

We need the paperwork in a country of 300,000,000 people, but the paperwork only acknowledges the reality.
