Since there is no US law that states someone born with foreign citizenship is in fact a Natural Born Citizen, the question remains:

How can a Natural Born Citizen's status be "Governed" by Great Britain?

Natural born citizenship status can’t be governed by Great Britain. Natural Born Citizenship status in the US is governed by Section One of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution and only by Section One the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
“ All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
There is no exception or special category for presidential candidates in the 14th Amendment. ALL persons means ALL persons. A BORN Citizen is a natural born citizen and the other category is a naturalized citizen, ever since 1868. Born citizens can be President, naturalized citizens cannot.
