Well, it says: ‘... the framers thought it wise, in view of the probable influx of European immigration, to provide that the president should at least be the child of citizens owing allegiance to the United States at the time of his birth.” From there it makes an argument that the child of citizens (plural) born overseas are natural born citizens.
