Too bad for you but Ted himself disagrees with your conclusion.

It gets nutty around here especially when there are posters who if you follow their “logic”? he isn’t even a citizen of the United States at all but is Canadian because why?

He was born on the soil.

Tell us, dear expert, what makes him even a citizen as you say?

If he was born in Canada WHAT makes him a citizen at ALL, Mr. expert?

And if you will go down that thinking path a ways, you will find yourself - if honest - rethinking the whole issue of what does it mean to be “natural born”.

The fact that Congress passed a law in 1934 granting citizenship to the children of all American women who are old enough, and who have lived in the United States for the required number of years.

Had Congress not passed the law, Ted Cruz would not be an American citizen at all, let alone a "natural" citizen.

73d CONGRESS- SESS. II. CH, 344. MAY 24, 1934.[CHAPTER 344.

AN ACT

To amend the Law relative to citizenship and naturalization, and for other purposes.

...

...In cases where one of the parents is an alien,the right of citizenship shall not descend unless the child comes to the UnitedStates and resides therein for at least five years continuously immediately previous to his eighteenth birthday, and unless, within six months after the child's twenty-first birthday, he or she shall take an oath of allegiance to the United States of America as presented by the Bureau of Naturalization.

That legislation sure uses the word "Naturalization" a lot.
