Demonstrably false, see USC Title 8 Section 1401 Nationals and Citizens of the United States at birth.
Eleanor was a US citizen living in Canada. At the time of Sen Cruz's birth, she had not spent enough time in Canada to qualify for Canadian citizenship.
Subsection G of the above code states that Sen Cruz was a US citizen at birth, has never needed to be naturalized and is naturally born a US Citizen.
Really? Then explain why legislatures in 13 different states have been trying to ensure our next POTUS is born in America and qualified to run for office? Are they all just stupid or what?
13 Eligibility Bills (2009-2011) in various states that demand proof of natural born American citizens status prior candidates being included on a respective state ballot. http://www.art2superpac.com/UserFiles/file/13eligibilitybillstable312.1.11.pdf
With humor, here is the one from Texas HB 529 written by Republican Leo Berman and cosponsored by 24 other Republicans. This is before they knew ‘TEXAS TED’ was actually a Canadian, not A Texan by birth.

Seriously, Rafael should have gotten Felito a Hawaiian BC; GHWB could have made that happen for the Cruz family.
