Below is the law regarding birthright/natural born citizenship which was in effect at the time Cruz was born.

If you hold that there are more than two types of citizenship (natural born/birthright and naturalized), please cite from U.S. law what the additional categories of citizenship are and how one would go about obtaining them.

“A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child’s birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be the genetic or the gestational parent and the legal parent of the child under local law at the time and place of the child’s birth to transmit U.S. citizenship.”

The term ‘natural born’ appears nowhere in your cite.
