US Law does not define "natural born citizen." It is BEYOND THE AUTHORITY of US Law to define a constitutional term.
Someone who does not comprehend this is not worth arguing with.
So, correct me if I am wrong, but what you are saying is that US Law cannot define "Natural Born Citizen" But somehow, in a legal sense, Senator Cruz is to be held accountable, in terms of his LEGAL eligibility to be President, by something outside of US Law?
You don't see how nonsensical that is?

Federal law cannot modify the meaning of a constitutional term.
But somehow, in a legal sense, Senator Cruz is to be held accountable, in terms of his LEGAL eligibility to be President, by something outside of US Law?
Do not understand what you are trying to say here.
