Cruz was a citizen at birth, so he is a “natural born citizen”.

Under the Immigration and Naturalization Act at the time of Cruz's birth, Cruz had a right to U.S. Citizenship.

SCOTUS has opined Congress is not authorized by the Constitution to enlarge or abridge the citizenship rights of a naturalized citizen, i.e. they can't write a law, rule or regulation to have a citizen recognized as a natural born citizen because they are not authorized to enlarge or abridge the citizenship rights of citizen.

Sorry, there, jack, he was a natural born citizen that needed to take no further action to be a US citizen.
