Cruz is a citizen of the US. He arrived at that point without having to be naturalized due to his US mother. Therefore he is a natural born citizen. Cleared up for most people.
The state department doesn’t think its quite that simple.
They say that if the paperwork is in order...
“A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if certain statutory requirements are met. The child’s parents should contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) to document that the child is a U.S. citizen. If the U.S. embassy or consulate determines that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, a consular officer will approve the CRBA application and the Department of State will issue a CRBA, also called a Form FS-240, in the child’s name.”
This is the documentation they require

If Ted Cruz’s parents did obtain citizenship for him at birth he is golden. If not and he obtained it when his father became a US citizen we are back in the morass of natural born vs naturalized. He was born in Canada to a Canadian citizen Dad with a Canadian BC, a natural born Canadian citizen. If his Mom was a US citizen at that point she could have filed to have him declared one as well.
Why have all FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests filed in search of any U.S. citizenship documents to confirm the true official U.S. citizenship status of Ted Cruz been denied access? It appears all citizenship records for Ted Cruz are sealed unless and until Ted Cruz agrees to allow any such records to be released by either U.S. or Canadian agencies. Why? Again, just questions....
Your poorly thought out Post implies that you are convinced that there is no distinction between a ‘citizen’ and a ‘natural born citizen.’
