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?
Cruz's FATHER is Cuban, his mother is American. So this would apply:
"In general, a Child Born Outside the U.S. is a Citizen at Birth when the Child’s Parents Are NOT Married to each other at the Time of Birth...IF
The genetic or non-genetic gestational legal mother is a U.S. citizen at the time of birth, and the birth date is after December 23, 1952."
So if his parents were not married, he'd be a legal US citizen at birth.

Cruz was born a citizen

But the prez clause says "natural born citizen" . "Natural". Is the tricky part .
Wasn't the idea that some Brit born sympathizer couldn't become prez of the original states ?
If both your parents are American and you're born outside of America, and they were married at the time, you're still American.OH boy....this again.
I was born in Burtonwood (Lancashire) England to American parents serving abroad. Am I an American?
"In a general, a Child Born Outside the U.S. is a Citizen at Birth when the Child’s Parents Are Married to each other at the Time of Birth IF...
Both parents are U.S. citizens at the time of birth, AND At least one parent lived in the U.S. or its territories prior to the birth."
It gets more confusing if your parents were not married. And would depend on the year in which you were born.
There are different laws for service men and women too I believe.
Exactly. The laws for being abroad are different as well. Cruz is American. However, I get it. The right disparaged Obama for years. I suppose a tit-for-tat is in order.

YOU do realize that 8 of the first 9 presidents were British subjects, don't you?
Van Buren was the first president born a US citizen, and his successor was born a British subject.

Yes, but they wanted people physically born on U.S./ colony soil . The country was new, they couldn't wait 35 years for the first us born kid to be old enough to be prez . Lol.
Alan Grayson already said he would sue election officials if they certified Cruz's eligibilityIf both your parents are American and you're born outside of America, and they were married at the time, you're still American.OH boy....this again.

Link to where Dems said Cruz isn't a citizen.
To my knowledge, the only one saying that is Drumpf.
