That issue only relates to being able to confir citizenship, not natural born citizenship.

That is among the points that have been raised by people. But I’m not the one to really ask. My understanding from recent reading is that “natural born” has never really been defined and that several past presidents or major party candidates have been born outside the US. Among them McCain (born in Panama, but I think his father was in military service), George Romney (born in Mexico), Barry Goldwater (born in AZ before it was a state, but I think clearly that was part of the US even if not a state, but that’s just me).
