It's NEVER be the case.
The Constitution says you need to be "a natural born citizen" in order to qualify to be president or vice president.
It does NOT say you need to be born in a U.S. state.
Got a parent who's an American citizen when you were born? Then you're "a natural born citizen."
That's how Congress and SCOTUS have interpreted the "natural born citizen" clause.
If you're a "natural born citizen" you could have been born on the moon and qualify to be president once you're "thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States."

A president of the United States must be a "natural born" citizen of the United States.
Unlike Trump, try reading the Constitution.

McCain and Cruz are but a few. George Romney was born in Mexico. Barry Goldwater in the territory of Arizona.
Vice president John Garner was born in Texas before Texas was readmitted as a State. Vice President Charles Curtis was born in the territory of Kansas. Al Gore was born in the District of Columbia.

Cruz is a U.S. citizen.
Or are you saying the good people of Texas have elected a foreigner to represent their state in the Senate?🙄

When did Cruz become a citizen? Call his office and ask.
If he wasn't a U.S. citizen when he was born, then he should have a Green card. Produce a copy of Cruz' Green card.
Haven't you ever heard the phrase, "When you're in a hole, the first thing you should do is stop digging"?
😂
