Ok, so I know this has been covered a number of times already, however I haven't seen the following link posted which to me seems to spell it out..
Are you the foreign-born child of a parent who becomes a U.S. citizen?
This is how the US government defines citizens from birth vs citizens based on application after birth. To me, this is essentially "natural born citizen" vs "allowed citizen via application after birth". This is specific to americans born outside of the US which applies in Cruz's case, as opposed to obvious natural born citizens born within the United States.
From this page, if his parents were _not_ married he's good to go, but if his parents _were_ married when he was born then he probably wouldn't qualify..
Thoughts?
How did you get to be a citizen? Did you do anything other then be born?
Now ask yourself what Cruz did to be a citizen.
If you come to the conclusion he did the same as you did and you consider yourself a natural citizen then the logic follows.
