Constitution, 14th Amendment: "All persons born ... in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States".

'nuff said.

If your citizenship status relies on a law, statute, or even a Consitutional Amendment, it's not "natural".

Wow! I can’t believe you bring up the 14th when that was about slave children.

The prez requires a little more effort on your part. I’ve done it and I can say to you, enjoy the ride and consider your sources.

It is not a question of citizenship, but of being a ‘natural born citizen’ which is specific language in the constitutional requirement to be POTUS. And as has been written elsewhere there is a difference between a ‘citizen by birth’ and a ‘natural born citizen.’ So significant, in fact, that the Founders who crafted the Constitution put in that very specific term for a very specific reason.
