The 14th Amendment makes it clear with "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" that citizenship in America is determined by jurisdiction and not geography. This is how John McCain was a natural born citizen while being born in the Panama Canal Zone — his father was serving in the military under the jurisdiction of the U.S. government. Ditto for my wife born in then-West Germany while her father was in the 101st Airborne. Cruz's mother was a natural born citizen, therefore she was under the jurisdiction of the U.S. government when he was born in Canada. This makes Ted a natural born citizen, as at least three court cases in the past year have agreed as well as Congressional statute and all other judicial precedents.

Exactly. These issues are only complicated because people are trying to square the circle and make their guy eligible.
