Cruz is only a citizen at all because of a statute by Congress. Clearly not natural born.

Wrong. Cruz would be a citizen by natural descent. Read Vattel.

>>>”Clearly not natural born.”

There’s not three categories of citizens, only two. You’re either a natural born citizen or naturalized. Cruz isn’t naturalized.

He’s either not a citizen or natural born citizen.

Does your curriculum vitae include clerking for a Supreme Court justice?

And where does your definition of “natural born” come from?

.
Cruz was born a citizen under the standards held by the founders.

No act of congress has ever changed that.

British common law before 1776 stated that a natural-born subject included children born to British parents outside of the country.
