Both US v Wong Kim Ark and Perkins v Elg do not in any way support the claim that both parents must be US citizens. In fact, both cases determined that a child born in the US is a natural born citizen even if both parents are foreign nationals, you dumb fuck.
" ... I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen..

Sorry but Cruz's father was a Cuban national who naturalized in 2005 decades after Teds birth. That and Ted not being born within the jurisdiction of the U.S. negates him to just a statutory U.S. citizen due to positive law but not a natural born citizen resulting from natural law.
