He is a natural born citizen per Article 1 section 8 which vests Congress with the authority of making the rules of naturalization. Which they have codified in Title 8 Section 1401 subsection G that stipulates that Mr Cruz is a citizen at birth and thus has never needed naturalization.

Congress has authority to make rules of naturalization, they have made those rules, and those rules vest Cruz with citizenship at birth, therefor he “has never needed naturalization”
Hahahahahhahahahahaha! A snake eating its tail. Good luck with that.
Do you realize that you just said he is a citizen under the Authority of Congress to make the rules of Naturalization?
If Congress uses their powers of naturalization to make him a citizen, then he is defacto a "naturalized" citizen. Actually, this is exactly what the Supreme Court held in Rogers v Bellei.
Bellei was a naturalized citizen, and so is Cruz. They were naturalized before birth, en masse, and in accordance with a statute passed by Congress which has the authority to do so under the "naturalization" article you cited above.
