At The Atlantic, Bryan Garner: Legal Memorandum: Is Ted Cruz Eligible for the Presidency? (from the editor of Black's Law Dictionary and co-author, with Justice Scalia, of Reading Law). Short answer: yes, but with quite a bit of reliance on the Equal Protection Clause. Plus lots of interesting discussion along the way.
RELATED: Also in The Atlantic, Garrett Epps on the same topic, with a similar answer: Ted Cruz Is a Natural-Born Citizen – Whatever the Founders may have thought, contemporary law is perfectly clear on this point.
And John Eastman here, at NRO (finding English and founding-era history to be conclusive, though mostly avoiding the non-citizen father issue).
