So, John McCain wasn’t eligible either (born in Panama)? I don’t see the Cruz disparagers here say anything about that.
Actually this has been addressed. There is an exception for children of American’s born overseas to parents in the service of the country. This was originally meant for diplomats but before McCain ran for President he asked congress to rule on whether his father having been in military service posted overseas at the time was sufficient. Congress ruled that it did and that he was Natural Born and eligible to be President. Cruz should have made a similar petition.
Very different than Cruz who had to negate his Canadian Citizenship.

It was discussed, with varied opinions on the matter. FWIW I was born in legally identical circumstances as McCain, and was always told that was a bar to the presidency. (We all have our fantasies as children) Of course these advisers were all lay people, and that was back in real America.
