I don't know who the "legal experts" cited here are, but Title 8 of the U.S. Code states that the U.S. citizen parent has to meet certain conditions of U.S. residence before citizenship can be derived by the child. (Cruz's mother apparently meets those requirements.)
The big question is whether a "derivative" U.S. citizen like Cruz is a "natural-born" citizen. Your common everyday natural-born citizen is a "native and citizen" of the United States. Cruz is a native of Canada and a citizen of the United States, but he became a U.S. citizen at birth. So which is more important?
