Ted Cruz was born to US citizens abroad so he’s a native-born citizen

Native-born US citizens are given citizenship at birth. The way to get that is to be born on US soil or born to at least one US citizen parent (regardless of the country you’re born in — unless they don’t allow dual citizenship). He was born to US citizens in Canada, so at birth he was likely a US-Canadian dual citizen
