But if you read that very paper it says at the conclusion...

The constitutional history, the nearly unanimous consensus of legal and constitutional scholars, and the consistent, relevant case law thus indicate that every child born in and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States (that is, not children of diplomatic personnel representing a foreign nation or military troops in hostile occupation), is a native born U.S. citizen and thus a “natural born Citizen” eligible to be President under the qualifications clause of the Constitution, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of one’s parents. The legal issues regarding “natural born” citizenship and birth within the United States, without regard to lineage or ancestral bloodline, have been well settled in this country for more than a century, and such concepts date back to, and even pre-date, the founding of the nation. The weight of more recent federal cases, as well as the majority of scholarship on the subject, also indicates that the term “natural born citizen” would most likely include, as well as native born citizens, those born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents, at least one of whom had previously resided in the United States, or those born abroadto one U.S. citizen parent who, prior to the birth, had met the requirements of federal law for physical presence in the country

I agree the CRS' opinion is that there is VERY LIKELY that Cruz is NBC.

They also indicate legitimate legal questions remain.

With the specter of "legitimate legal questions" remaining, you can bet your last dollar that will be exploited by Democrats, if not by a GOP primary candidate...or a state or few.
