I'm curious, Into the Vortex, if John Quincy Adams was born in London or even on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic, would he have been eligible to be POTUS?

If you had read the constitution you would know that it didn't matter where John Quincy Adams was born as long as he was a citizen.

Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution:

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
