Under the Constitutions CONDITION, Cruz is not eligible.
You are ill informed or you are not informed at all to make an outlandish statement with absolutely no proof.

This isn’t the first time the qualifications of a candidate have come into question. George Romney, the father of Mitt Romney who ran for president as a Republican in 1968, was born in Mexico.

Barry Goldwater, the 1964 GOP presidential nominee, was born in Arizona before it was a state.

Neither candidate’s campaign was derailed by citizenship challenges.

More recently, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., faced questions about his eligibility because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone while his father was stationed there.

Interestingly, McCain’s potential Democratic opponents — Obama and then-Sen. Hillary Clinton — co-sponsored a Senate measure to settle McCain’s eligibility..... The April 2008 resolution said, “John Sidney McCain, III, is a ‘natural born Citizen’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.”..... It passed unanimously.
