Canadian law is irrelevant with regards to deciding US Citizenship at birth. What is relevant is US law and Title 8 Section 1401 subsection G say Sen Cruz is a US Citizen, was born a US citizen, and has always been a US Citizen.

The controlling law is the Immigration and Nationality Act, Pub. L. No. 82-414 § 301(a)(7), 66 Stat. 163, 236 (1952).

The foreign-born child is not a citizen if the citizen parent does not meet the requirements of this statute. The foreign-born child is not a citizen by birth, the foreign-born child is a citizen by statute. A citizen by statute is a naturalized citizen.

Right! The founders put the 'natural born citizen' requirement for the Presidency only because...??? If it doesn't mean anything different from "citizen" why add the extra words?

Either Ted Cruz is a original-intent Constitutionalist and therefore ineligible to be President or he is a living-document Constitutionalist and eligible to be President. It is one or the other, but it can't be both.
