If you believe Pellegrini's ruling of what a natural born citizen is, then we are doomed and the Constitution as the Framers created it is a dead document.

Exactly. The courts are turning what the Founders intended completely around. Instead of citizenship being based on one's natural Allegiance, one's allegiance is assumed via 'legal' citizenship.

The Founders in the first Congress in 1790 passed a law whch stated “the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States.”

The trial court’s ruling is consistent with the Original Intent of the Founders:
“Having extensively reviewed all the articles cited in this opinion, as well as many others, this Court holds, consistent with the common law precedent and statutory history, that a “natural born citizen” includes any person who is a United States citizen from birth.”

Ted Cruz was a United States Citizen from birth. Here’s the current law of the land: 8 U.S.C. § 1401
The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years”
