No I wouldn’t. I had a childhood friend who was born in Germany and he was told he was ineligible to be President.
Natural born citizen is only required for President.
Read the founders and you will see that they meant born here of citizen parents, no other possible citizenships, naturally a US citizen.

I disagree with your interpretation. Legal scholars disagree about many parts of the Constitution; look at the fuss over the missing comma in the second amendment which would have made it much, much clearer as to the Founder’s intent.

Change from ‘missing’ to ‘added’ made.

I agree. I was always taught to be President one had to be born on American soil. Exceptions military bases that are American soil. McCain for instance.
