You cited “Sec. 301(a) The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth”

If this is how Cruz obtains citizenship then he is not Article II eligible.

Do you agree?

No, of course I don't agree.

Multiple early sources equated citizenship at birth with natural born citizenship, or said that the President had to be a citizen at or by birth.

Most contemporary scholars believe that people born US citizens abroad are eligible. I do too.

I believe Ted Cruz is eligible. It's not 100%, since the Supreme Court has never specifically ruled. But I think that almost certainly he's eligible, and almost certainly the Supreme Court would agree that he's eligible.

I understand your opinion, however according to the law you cited Sec. 301(a) he is not Article II eligible. Thank you for agreeing.
