The oft-repeated “the Constitution doesn’t define natural born” is a ridiculous argument. The Constitution doesn’t define ANY word or phrase because every word and phrase had a commonly accepted meaning.

Whether or not the constitution defines NBC doesn't matter for the Cruz case. The cosntitution does define "citizen," and puts them into a couple groups that are adequate to decide the Cruz case.
See 14th amendment and Art IV, Sec. 2

“The Constitution doesnât define ANY word or phrase because every word and phrase had a commonly accepted meaning.”
