In the audio, Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, stated that there is only one person in America that is required to be born in America in accordance with our Constitution. Only one person and that’s the President of the United States.

Small correction there.

The relevant portion of Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution, which applies to the Office of the President, requires that:

No person except a natural born Citizen ... shall be eligible to the Office of President only office

However the 12th Amendment also requires that:

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

So there are only two offices in our government, the office of President and the office Vice President, which are required to be filled by persons who are “natural born citizens” of the United States, in accordance with our Constitution.
