What I find interesting is that there has never, in 226 years, been an openly foreign born President. Arthur is likely the exception but he had the sense to hide his illegitimacy. This is 226 years of historical precedent that Ted Cruz is attempting to undo.

Agree.
There was never conclusive proof of Arthur being born in Canada, as far as I know.
To see conservatives use the left’s “birther” arguments against their own because they happen to support a candidate with doubts in this regard has been unsettling, to me at least.
Even if he was born in Canada, he hid that fact from history. He sneaked through the back door undetected. Cruz isn’t hiding anything. He’s just walking through the front door and leaving it wide open for the next ineligible President. That’s much different and much worse IMHO.
