I recall that Barry Goldwater was born in 1909 in the geographic area of the Arizona Territory to be known Arizona -- before it became part of the United States in 1912. But that did not preclude him from running for President in 1964.
That’s because it was part of the US. A territory isn’t a state, but it’s still sovereign US land. That’s how someone born in Puerto Rico or Guam is a natural born American citizen

We really need to deport Puerto Rico. Just call it "Rico" from now on.
