This was already debated when Obama and McCain's eligibility came up. We've heard the debates, had the discussions, and nothing has changed since then. I've researched this myself....

It's very, very simple. The moment Ted Cruz was born he was, in fact, without a doubt a United States Citizen. He did not have to apply for citizenship; It was given to him. This makes him a natural born citizen.

If that is not enough for you, the Naturalization Act of 1790 should be more than enough. It even says that children born abroad to US Citizens "shall be considered as natural born citizens". Done.

I disagree with this myself, and I believe that a basic requirement should be that a US President should be born physically in the United States (not Canada, not a US territory, not a US military base in a foreign country, not a on ship or a plane). But that is not what the law says.
