Which means we would have to have three kinds of citizenship. And yet legislative history never says that.
What legislative history DOES say is that those born abroad to US citizen parents since 1795 are NOT natural born citizens. So Cruz is ineligible. Period.
What's important to note about this is that legislative history firmly establishes that "born citizen" does NOT equal "natural born citizen."
I've heard that Marco Rubio may have a similar problem calling his citizenship into question also.
from ankeny v daniels:
Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.

We reiterate that we do not address the question of natural born citizen status for persons who became United States citizens at birth by virtue of being born of United States citizen parents, despite the fact that they were born abroad. That question was not properly presented to this court. Without addressing the question, however, we note that nothing in our opinion today should be understood to hold that being born within the fifty United States is the only way one can receive natural born citizen status.
You simply hold firm to your belief, demand that your opinion be taken as fact, invent historical events to support your belief, and then ignore first hand documentation that refutes your claims.
I'll say it again - You lie. Why would anyone believe a liar who says that she's not lying.

correct ( altho the decision has been cited in multiple birther case decisions outside of indiana ). unfortunately the birthers dropped the ball and did not appeal to the SCOTUS ( i wish they had ).

McCarran Walter act was in effect during that time. Per that law, also known as Public law 414, Cruz was NOT a citizen at birth.
Section 320: Children born outside the United States of alien parent and citizen parent. Child does not receive US Citizenship unless alien parent naturalizes by time child turns 16.
There are over 400 sections to that act. That section remained in effect until 1978.
Ted’s Father, Rafael Cruz obtained Canadian citizenship in 1973 and ultimately became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2005. Ted was 35 years old."
If this is true then Cruz was not even eligible to become a Senator.
