If Cruz’s mother was a naturalized Canadian citizen (as some speculate or even allege) when she delivered Ted, then he would not be a U.S. citizen at all.
If she retained her American citizenship then he of course is a citizen as well.
How anyone can conclude that the son of a foreign citizen could be a natural born citizen which is distinct from being ‘a citizen’ of the United States is baffling to me
There is not one shred of hard evidence that Cruz’s mom became a Canadian citizen and renounced her US citizenship. There are speculative items of interest and one or two possible items of circumstantial evidence but that’s it. Basically, until someone shows a renunciation of citizenship or a certificate of Canadian citizenship for Cruz’s mom then all of this is mere conjecture.
