Well, they have studied the subject rather closely. However, a mirror would give them a closer view.

The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen, and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise meaning. A 2011 Congressional Research Service report stated that
The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term "natural born" citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship "by birth" or "at birth," either by being born "in" the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship "at birth." Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an "alien" required to go through the legal process of "naturalization" to become a U.S. citizen.[1]

That is from the source you provided. I had not looked at wikipedia. I looked at the constitution, declaration of independence and bill of rights. I didn't find it in those. That source don't really tell what is natural born, but it does tell some circumstances that isn't.

I think that if you read a little more you would see that Congress started defining "natural Born" as early as 1790. Cruz is a "natural born" citizen by right of "by birth" because one of his parents was an U.S. citizen.

Right. That would hold true for a girl from Kansas too
It would be nice if someone from either party would try to secure our borders.
