Sorry, no. British law in the 1700s clearly states children of British citizens born outside of Britain were natural-born citizens with no different rights from their parents.

“Natural-born” as a phrase implies NOTHING about geography or location. If your parents are citizens, you’re natural-born no matter where you were born.

You have two problems with that argument. One: There is no right to become POTUS. Second, you your self say 'If your parents are citizens, you’re natural-born no matter where you were born.'

Cruz's parents were not both citizens, only the mother was.

Oh. I didn’t realize that we are operating under British law from the 1700’s. I just assumed that, being in the US and all, that we would operate under the US Constitution. My mistake. I defer to your superior legal knowledge and experience.
