But you know that is NOT what the Constitution says.

It puts the additional qualifier of “natural born” for the position of President as a requirement.

The 14th Amendment did not modify the qualifier.

Therefore it still must be met.

Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Until a few years ago, natural born citizen was understood to mean not a naturalized citizen, and it still is by most people.
You do what you need to, there aren’t many people who agree with and I am one of those.
Have a good day.
