Not that this will convince some people, but...:
Helpfully, the Congressional Research Service gathered all of the information relevant to Cruz's case a few years ago, at the height (nadir?) of Obama birtherism. In short, the Constitution says that the president must be a natural-born citizen. "The weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion appears to support the notion that 'natural born Citizen' means one who is entitled under the Constitution or laws of the United States to U.S. citizenship 'at birth' or 'by birth,' including any child born 'in' the United States, the children of United States citizens born abroad, and those born abroad of one citizen parents who has met U.S. residency requirements," the CRS's Jack Maskell wrote. So in short: Cruz is a citizen; Cruz is not naturalized; therefore Cruz is a natural-born citizen, and in any case his mother is a citizen. You can read the CRS memo at bottom; here's a much longer and more detailed 2011 version.

Paul,I think you've identified one of the issues. Tom's use of the term indicates he doesn't understand what 'naturalized citizen' means or else he's invented his own definition. Either way it becomes impossible to have a rational discussion.SunilDate: Tue, 24 Mar 2015 15:16:37 -0700From: paul.rumelhart at gmail.comTo: thansen at moscow.comCC: vision2020 at moscow.comSubject: Re: [Vision2020] (no subject)Your definition of the word "naturalized" appears to differ from the meaning that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services department uses.  To them, becoming "naturalized" is a legal process requiring (among other things) getting a green card, filing an N-400, paying almost $600, getting fingerprinted, and taking English and civics tests.  There is also an oath ceremony.This is why people have been asking you to document your use of the term to mean "born abroad to a U.S. citizen", which is what it appears you think it means, rather than the process to become a citizen described above.PaulOn Tue, Mar 24, 2015 at 1:48 PM, Tom Hansen <thansen at moscow.com> wrote:It has been discussed and accepted on television . . . that Ted Cruz attained dual citizenship upon birth . . . as a Canadian citizen by birthright . . . and as a "naturalized" (NOT "natural born") citizen of the United States via his mother's citizenship.
