That being said, I 100% agree with the idea that "natural born citizen = citizen at birth, for all the reasons that have been stated exhaustively here for more than a decade.

And how do you jive this notion with the conditions with which some citizens have to comply to retain citizenship?

(Residency requirements and so forth.)

I know I could have gone overseas and never came back, and I would still have US Citizenship, but these "statute" based citizens would get their citizenship revoked for doing that.

Seems to me conditional citizenship isn't natural citizenship.

Because in the situation you are describing, when someone has lost their citizenship because they left the country, they’re not going to be eligible for the Presidency anyway so it becomes a non-issue.
