According to Canadian law, Ted is a natural born citizen of Canada.
He was also born with American citizenship, because his mother fulfilled age and residency requirements in the US, as set forth in the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952.
Ted was also a citizen of Cuba through his father’s status as a Cuban citizen.
At birth, three countries had a claim of allegiance on Ted Cruz.
Plus, he is an American citizen only by virtue of a law passed by Congress. If he was born before 1934, the law at that time would not have allowed his mother to pass along American citizenship.
Thus Ted is naturalized, relying on a law passed by Congress for his citizenship.
Being natural born is self evident and requires no act of Congress to obtain.
The standard has always been to be born in America, and have two American parents at the time of birth.
Obama has one American parent and was born in Hawaii.His father was a British subject, meaning Obama was born a British subject as well.
If we accept even that low a standard—born in America, foreign father, and having an American mother, Ted Cruz fails that low bar, having not even being born in America.

The natural born requirement was inserted in the Constitution to ensure allegiance to America as best as possible.
Ted, as a Constitutional expert, already knows this.
Since he refuses to abide by it, it needs to go to court.
Who would be the plaintiff in a legal challenge to Cruz's eligibility?
“A man born with dual or triple nationality can not logically be considered a natural born citizen.”
Obama touted his dual citizenship on his website for a long time.
