Well, that's a rather sideways answer to the question, so I'll ask it again:

Do you think someone with an American citizen father and a foreign-born mother today would be a "natural born citizen" if born in this country?

Sideways? Requiring the constitutional requirements to be enforced until the constitution is amended is somehow inadequate? What is your position on constitutional requirements? Do we enforce them or not?

Do you think someone with an American citizen father and a foreign-born mother today would be a "natural born citizen" if born in this country?

Yes, because that was the standard used in 1787. The mother's previous citizenship is irrelevant if she marries an American citizen.
