Although I would say there is a greater chance that Cruz is a natural born US citizen, I wouldn't say it is an open and shut case.
I disagree. He was an American citizen the day he was born. You said it all in your post - They had to notify the government, not request him to become a US citizen.

Did his parents have to notify the US that their child was born? Sure. Just like our hospital filed the paperwork when my child was born.
