I feel compelled to also point out that a parent(s) born in U.S. Territories are not considered born within the jurisdiction for Art. II, ยง1, cl. 5 purposes unless Congress has specifically passed legislation to that effect. I am thinking specifically of Tulsi Gabbard.

That is one way to look at it. Another way is that the citizens of all US territories are US citizens, except for citizens of American Samoa, where Gabbard was born, because Congress didn’t pass such legislation. Gabbard’s parents were both American citizens, so by most accounts that could still make her eligible for the presidency.
Yes, Tulsi Gabbard is another one who is a Citizen but not a “natural born Citizen”. Her father was Samoan and was a “U.S. National” per man-made naturalization law, i.e., Title 8 Section 1401, a group naturalization act of Congress (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1401) but her father was not a U.S. Citizen. Tulsi Gabbard, while talking the right talk lately about what is wrong with our country, has a history and past of being associated with and part of the communist far-leftist activists and their agenda to get the country into the bad shape it is today.
