I don’t think so, to be natural born he needs two parents who are citizens at the time of his birth, at least that was the original meaning of the term.

According to the Naturalization Act of 1790, a person could be born to two US citizens overseas and be considered a "natural born citizen". For a person born in the US, all it takes is one parent who is a US citizen.

According to the Naturalization Act of 1790, a person could be born to two US citizens overseas and be considered a "natural born citizen".

And please note that that term was removed just five years later in the 1795 Act. And it's interesting to note that when the 1790 Act was passed, the Tenth Amendment had yet to be ratified. Then, in 1795, after the ratification of the Tenth Amendment, suddenly "natural born citizen" becomes just "citizen."

It's also worth noting that among those who are considered citizens along with those born outside the US to citizen parents are children who were not born here or born to US citizens, but the children of parents who had become naturalized citizens before their children turned twenty one.

So only for a brief period between 1790 and 1795 were children born outside the US to citizen parents considered "natural born citizens." It has never been the case since then.

According to the Naturalization Act of 1790, a person could be born to two US citizens overseas and be considered a "natural born citizen".

But that has been superceded. Congress can't change the definition of a Constitutional term anyway, except by amendment which takes the whole ratification by the states thing. All subsequent versions of the law only speak of acquiring citizenship, not natural born citizenship, at birth.
