I don’t think that’s true. I think its not like a crime innocent until proven guilty.
Just like applying for any job Cruz and his attorneys need to prove that the statement he signed “that he is a natural born citizen and qualified for the office of POTUS” is backed up by the proper documentation, an US birth certificate or an alternate that is deemed by the Secretary of State to be sufficient to confirm NBC.

The best he could have is not good enough...
if his mother went to the US Embassy or consulate at the time of his birth it would not have been a US birth certificate but just some type of registration of a birth in a foreign country of a child of American citizen parent(s)...
but since she may not have a been an American herself any longer why would she ???
but say she still was...the child would not be a natural born American citizen since he was not actually born IN the United States but would have to be naturalized..having the right to be an American citizen due to his American citizen mother...BUT not to be POTUS..”(4) No person except a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN” Article II COTUS
There have been Cruz eligbility challenges adjudicated in at least nine states thus far. Are you aware of any proof of eligibility being entered into evidence by Senator Cruz in any of those challenges? I’m not.
When Barack Obama’s natural born citizenship was being challenged, two states’ Chief Elections Officers (Arizona and Kansas) went the extra mile and got Certified Letters of Verification for his Certificate of Live Birth from the state of Hawaii. Obama’s eligibility was legally challenged 226 times, most of the lawsuits didn’t even involve a defense by Obama. In 27 challenges at the U.S. Supreme Court, there was no legal brief submitted by Obama.
Obama’s attorneys submitted copies of his birth certificate in only 2 lawsuits, once in Georgia and once in Mississippi.
I would agree that proof of citizenship and identity is needed to get on the ballot. Candidates use their driver’s licenses, a U.S. Passport or a birth certificate as well as notorized statements to meet that requirement.
I was talking only about the court challenges.
