“Your point is clear: only 2nd generation (from both sides) Americans born on US soil are eligible for the Presidency. If someone in that chain marries a foreign national, the progeny from such a union are not qualified to be POTUS, since the 2nd Generation clock has again started.”

No.

If you marry a foreign national and that foreign national
becomes a citizen before the child is born then the child is a Natural Born citizen.

But if that person does NOT become a citizen (a 2+ year ordeal) and the child is born on US soil, said child is NOT a Natural Born Citizen, right? And if the parent keeps dual citizenship and a citizen of both the USA and the native country...?

This is getting interesting — I can hold off on bedtime for a short while.

It wouldn’t hurt your cause to toss in a case or 2, but I won’t hold you to that. I am interested in your understanding of the law.
