(there are very elderly living Americans who were born in western territories that became states during their lifetimes--Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona; they aren't likely to run for President due to their age, but one never knows; and there are not-so-elderly people born in Alaska and Hawaii when they were territories who could potentially want to run for President--Alaska and Hawaii were granted statehood in 1959, only 54 years ago).
This situation is not really farfetched. The same rules would apply to someone born in areas that are still U.S. Territories today--Puerto Rico, Guam or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
