"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?"

Correct.

Since the Natural Born clause ONLY presents only 1 limitation which is becoming president there could not be a litany of cases being adjudicated in the courts.

However there is McCain.
715, S. Res 511.

“Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a ``natural born Citizen’’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States”

Therefore, based on the original meaning of the Constitution, the Framers’ intentions, and subsequent legal
and historical precedent, Senator McCain’s birth to parents who were U.S. citizens, serving on a U.S. military base in
the Panama Canal Zone in 1936, makes him a ``natural born Citizen’’ within the meaning of the Constitution.

So, as I said, marrying a foreign national starts the “natural born citizen” clock all over again. Only the children of the children of such a marriage (assuming citizenship is not achieved for spouse) are POTUS eligible.

That is really your interpretation?

Sorry if the question is redundant, but I have to see the answer again to believe my eyes.

This just proves even lawyers lie to get paid. McCain was not born on an American base, the Framer’s intention is the lawyers devised history as is any precedent. The Senators accepting such devious gibberish are also guilty of perjury.
