It says those born of a citizen FATHER overseas.

So clearly the criteria understood in 1790 was not born in country of two citizen parents when a child born of a citizen father (one parent) overseas (not in the USA) was considered as a natural born citizen - thus there was no need to “naturalize” them - and they would be eligible for the Presidency.
