You’re the one who is totally ignorant on the Constitution. Making up that it says you have to be born on U.S. territory to be natural-born is no different than making up that it guarantees the right to abort your baby.
“Natural-born” has nothing to do with geography. It just means you were a citizen automatically by birth as opposed to having to apply to gain citizenship. The rule in England at the time said as much about “natural-born subjects.”

The use of the phrase “natural born” was not without precedent. Statutes in England prior to American independence used the phrase “natural born subject”. For example, the British Foreign Protestants Naturalization Act 1708:[10][11]
The children of all natural born subjects born out of the ligeance [i.e. out of England] of Her Majesty Her Heirs and Successors shall be deemed and adjudged to be natural born subjects of this Kingdom to all intents, constructions, and purposes whatsoever.
In 2000, the Congressional Research Service (CRS), in one of its reports, wrote that most constitutional scholars interpret the natural born citizen clause to include citizens born outside the United States to parents who are U.S. citizens.
Considering the history of the constitutional qualifications provision, the common use and meaning of the phrase “natural-born subject” in England and in the Colonies in the 1700s, the clause’s apparent intent, the subsequent action of the first Congress in enacting the Naturalization Act of 1790 (expressly defining the term “natural born citizen” to include a person born abroad to parents who are United States citizens), as well as subsequent Supreme Court dicta, it appears that the most logical inferences would indicate that the phrase “natural born Citizen” would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship “at birth” or “by birth”.[68]
No I am not the ignorant one. I have known longer than Cruz was birthed in Canada, what natural born means. Natural born is akin to a birthright. Parents both US citizen deliver a child on US soil.
Cruz, of Harvard Law school knows he is not eligible. But he believes he is entitled to an exemption.
Too bad for those who are ‘natural born’ can be deceived into selling out their birthright.
Ever heard of Esau, he thought so little of his birthright he sold it for a bowl of red pottage. (Lentils). Then God made sure he lost his blessing... God said he hated Esau.
