If he had never been mentioned I wouldn't be questioning it now.
There are a few ways to view the question of "settled."
Looking at case law precedents, 100% say Cruz is naturalized. All of 'em, going back 200 years.
Applying the US constitution to the facts, it is "settled," Cruz is a naturalized citizen.
But, as to public perception, and what people believe, it is not settled.
I use the example of Galileo. 500 years ago it was settled that the sun orbits the earth. This was not questioned. It was so, because people believed it be so.
200 years ago, the people knew what NBC was. They certainly knew that is wasn't anybody born abroad. It was a no brainer.
That people are not so sure of this anymore is a credit to the ability of mass media to impose false belief on the public. Somebody wants you to think this is unsettled, because there is a larger benefit to them and their ilk, flowing form an ignorant and easily led, gullible public.
No, it is actually settled, only not in a court of law. The congress has the constitutional right to define citizenship and they have multiple times since the constitution was written. It will have to go to the SC so they, all being lawyers, can waddle thru the legalese in all the rule changes since 1790. Only then will the question finally be settled but for some reason I think Trump will figure out how to keep the subject on the front rumor page.

‘200 years ago, the people knew what NBC was. They certainly knew that is wasn’t anybody born abroad. It was a no brainer.’
That one definition alone brings doubt. And doubt is something an ideal candidate would not bring to the table.
The only reason we even consider Cruz eligible is because he is so amazing in other respects.
