His parents failed to file a CRBA form which is required by US law. Ted's parents did not fill out the required form until 1986.

The money quote:

"According to Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier, Cruz's mother did register his birth with the U.S. consulate and Cruz received a U.S. passport in 1986 ahead of a high school trip to England.

There are two apparent contradictions regarding how and when Ted Cruz obtained US citizenship."

According to the above reference, If his parents neglected to file for a CRBA, Ted can prove his citizenship by showing his foreign BC, his mom BC and his parents marriage certificate.

So there is no question that Ted is a U.S. citizen but is he NATURAL born?
