The tenth US president, John Tyler (1841-1845) was the First US born president. He was
born in March 29, 1790, in the State of Virginia in USA.

1st citizenship law for the state of Virginia that was passed in May of 1779:

Be it enacted by the General Assembly, that all white persons born within the territory of this commonwealth and all who have resided therein two years next before the passing of this act, and all who shall hereafter migrate into the same; and shall before any court of record give satisfactory proof by their own oath or affirmation, that they intend to reside therein, and moreover shall give assurance of fidelity to the commonwealth; and all infants wheresoever born, whose father, if living, or otherwise, whose mother was, a citizen at the time of their birth, or who migrate hither, their father, if living, or otherwise their mother becoming a citizen, or who migrate hither without father or mother, shall be deemed citizens of this commonwealth, until they relinquish that character in manner as herein after expressed: And all others not being citizens of any the United States of America, shall be deemed aliens.

Raphael Edward "Ted" Cruz, for purposes of Article 2 of the US Constitution is a naturalized citizen, his father being an alien at the time of Ted's birth in Canada. And there would not have been one court in the US at that time who would have disagreed with this, including in 1790. The father MUST have been a US citizen for the child to be considered a 'natural born' or 'naturalized' citizen of the US. The only time the mother's nationality came into play is if the father was deceased.

Maybe you can underline the part that says “white”’ too.
