Given this demonstrated and indisputable fact that Ted Cruz was naturalized as a U.S. citizen and such naturalized U.S. citizens are ineligible to be POTUS, it is quite obvious Ted Cruz is not eligible to be POYUS and is not and cannot be a natural born citizen.

Ted Cruz is eligible because he is a citizen by birth.

On July 12, 1999, the son of Nikita "We will bury you" Khrushchev was naturalized. He became a citizen not by birth but through a legal process generously provided by his adopted country. He is not eligible.

“Ted Cruz is eligible because he is a citizen by birth.”

Ted Cruz says he acquired his U.S. citizenship by inheriting his mother’s U.S. citizenship, which is the statute at his time of birth known as the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952, and it says Ted Cruz “Sec. 301. (a) The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth; . . . (7) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States . . . .”

The Foreign Affairs Manual of the U.S. State Department administering that naturalization statutory law says: “U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual Volume 7
Consular Affairs. 7 FAM 1151 INTRODUCTION... b. 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(23); INA 101(a)(23)) defines naturalization as the conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth by any means whatsoever. . . For the purposes of this subchapter naturalization includes:... (5) “Automatic”  acquisition of U.S. citizenship after birth, a form of naturalization by certain children born abroad to U.S. citizen parents or children adopted abroad by U.S. citizen parents.”

United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 18 S.Ct. 456, 42 L.Ed. said “A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized....”

Nowhere is there a place in the Constitution says a mere “citizen”, a “naturalized citizen at birth”, or a “naturalized citizen” is eligible to the Office of the President. Consequently, there is no possible way that Ted Cruz can remotely be argued to be eligible for the Office of the President, because the above quoted laws expressly forbid a naturalized U.S citizen to be eligible for the Office of the President.
