And hence, Cruz is 100% eligible.

Have a nice day.

The grandfather clause in Article II was for those who lived during the time when the Constitution was adopted. It does not apply to Ted Cruz. The language is very clear.

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
