That action will establish the definition of NBC to mean “born a citizen and not required to naturalize.”

Cruz was naturalized prior to birth back in 1934. Congress naturalized all such future children in 1934, but only *IF* the mother meets age and residency conditions.

Natural born citizens do not have conditions placed on their citizenship, or that of their mother.

Actually, there are a whole lot of conditions place on the citizenship of natural born citizens. One condition is being born on US soil (title 8 section 1401 subsection A) or being born outside of the US to parents who are both citizens (title 8 section 1401 subsection C). Further conditions apply including conditions by which a natural born citizen might forfeit their citizenship.
