Seems he might just qualify.... From wikipedia:



If this is the accepted definination of "natural born citizen" then he might just qualify.

Whatever, not really caring.
The comedy of this is that Cruz's situation is likely the same as Obama's where his mom is American therefore he is an American citizen, but his father isn't. Somehow I have a feeling if Cruz goes deep into the primaries or even manages to capture the republican nomination the birthers will not being going after him in the same way.
