>>>This issue is very much in need of resolution.<<<
This may happen because the Dims like Alan Grayson may push it in the courts...
But, Cruz’s mother was a naturalized US citizen. She was living and working in Canada at the time of Ted’s birth. so, despite the non-US location, Ted is legally a US citizen by birth.
Senator Cruz’s mother was born in America - making your arguments moot.
Sorry, this dog won’t hunt.

If the parents are married to each other, the child is a U.S. citizen if
One parent is a U.S. citizen, and the U.S. citizen parent lived in the U.S. for at least five years prior to the child's birth, at least two of which were after the age of fourteen.
In Cruzs' case the above is applicable. Then the procedure to acquire "birth citizenship" is:
After the parents have determined that their child is a U.S. citizen, they need to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad at the nearest U.S. consulate. The parents will need to submit an application (PDF), along with documentation proving the parents' citizenship and the record of the child's birth from the resident country. The Consular Report of Birth Abroad can be used later as proof of the child's U.S. citizenship, and may be used to obtain a U.S. passport for the child. -

Grayson is arguing that the father is as much a part of a persons birth establishment as the mother. In some countries this holds and even more so as the child is given the father’s family name which was done in Cruz’s case. I suspect the Founding Fathers were much aware of such a possibility and indeed some had to deal with such.
