Of course he is a citizen. He is not a natural.born citizen which is stipulated in the constitution. That requires both parents citizens and born on US soil. Even MCcAin born in a Panama hospital next to navy base had to have an opinion written and accepted by congress.

If only a one parent citizenship is required then the crown prince of Jordan would qualify as well as any illegitimate child born to a soldier on foreign soil

He can still serve in ghe senate or on the SCOTUS. Why does he insist on serving only as President

Words have meaning.
Natural BORN does not mean without medical assistance as someone tried to argue yesterday
Two US citizen parents on US territory.

There are million of people who qualify. Why choose another one who doesn’t ?

From the U.S. Constitution:

ARTICLE II, SECTION 1, CLAUSE 5
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident.

.

Bottom line: Cruz is eligible.
