Keep in mind what other effects a Cruz eligibility ruling would have...
If natural born citizen is ruled to be "citizen at birth", the Nationals and Citizens at Birth statute at 8 USC 1401 becomes the hiring pool for president, and it is modifiable by Congress.
Even now, citizen at birth status is granted to a person of unknown parentage and birthplace in section (f).
Now ask yourselves 2 questions...
Does (f) a person of unknown parentage found in the United States while under the age of five years, until shown, prior to his attaining the age of twenty-one years, not to have been born in the United States; sound like a natural born citizen?
Who will Congress grant citizenship at birth to in the future if they discover they can modify presidential eligibility at will?
Foreigners. I remember talk way back in 04' or something about changing eligibility so Schwarzenegger could run for president. IDK if that was something that was just suggested or people looked at it seriously though. I remember hearing it.
