In simple terms there are only two kinds of citizens. There are Natural Born Citizens and Naturalized Citizens. If you are not born a Citizen, then you must go through a Naturalization process in order to gain rightful Citizenship. Anyone who is required to go through this process becomes a a citizen after birth.
If you are born a Citizen, then you are considered a Natural Born Citizen.
There are no other categories of Citizenship.
Ted Cruz did not have to go through any naturalization process to become a citizen. He was BORN a citizen. He falls into the Natural Born Citizen category.
End of argument.

These folks are so brainwashed by previous arguments they’ve heard regarding the definition of “natural born citizen” that they can’t see the actual words of law that are on the page in front of them. It’s like the words don’t exist.
In any case, Cruz was born a citizen. The act of 1790 calls these folks born overseas “natural born citizens”, so that means we should IGNORE how the actual same group of people used the same expression. And we should ignore that George Washington, no stranger to the Constitution, signed that law.
It’s bizarre was brainwashing does to people’s ability to read.
Naturalization statute may assign citizenship at any point. It may be at birth; or upon the naturalization of the parent(s); or, for those after 18 years of age, upon completion of a process.
The law states that Cruz is a "citizen", it does not state "natural born citizen".
I have cited specific law and provided a link to the Statutes at Large where you can read it. You have provided your assertion, backed by further assertions.
Cruz is naturalized.
