Like this from The New Englander And Yale Law Review, Volume 3 (1845) which states the obvious:
“The expression ‘citizen of the United States occurs in the clauses prescribing qualifications for Representatives, for Senators, and for President. In the latter, the term ‘natural born citizen’ is used and excludes all persons owing allegiance by birth to foreign states.”

I doubt that there is any chance of that, but we will send it to your cleaning lady.
You seem to assume Barry owed allegiance to the UK. He did not, not under US law. Unless Barry applied for UK citizenship or took some steps as an adult to live in the UK, US law assumes he is totally American.
1845? You're dumber than I thought. It's a good thing that the judiciary stopped issuing opinions in 1846, otherwise someone might question the relevance of the that article. /s
Why don't you try this one, from the Yale Law review, written just a paltry 143 years later.
