No evidence? You mean things like:

Article 1 Section 8 clause 4
Title 8 Section 1401 and 1101
Naturalization Act of 1790

And what have you presented to support your case? Calling people idiots is about all I have seen so far.

Ted Cruz did not need to be naturalized. I think the Pennsylvania Supreme Court would be less than impressed with the strength of your argument.
The arguments you Trumpbots put forward are sophomoric.

You keep ignoring what speaks directly about your guy Ted.

The 2nd paragraph of the Supreme Court Ruling in Bellei reads as follows:

“A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty, as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory; or by authority of Congress, exercised either by declaring certain classes of persons to be citizens, as in the enactments conferring citizenship upon foreign-born children of citizens, or by enabling foreigners individually to become citizens by proceedings in the judicial tribunals, as in the ordinary provisions of the naturalization acts.”

You also ignore what the State Department has to say regarding birth outside of the borders of the U.S.:

“(2) Jus sanguinis (the law of the bloodline) - a concept of Roman or civil law under which a persons citizenship is determined by the citizenship of one or both parents. This rule, frequently called citizenship by descent or derivative citizenship, is not embodied in the U.S. Constitution, but such citizenship is granted through statute. As U.S. laws have changed, the requirements for conferring and retaining derivative citizenship have also changed.”
