Or is that Clause 5? Funny how some versions group words differently . . .
“Funny how some versions group words differently . . .”
So are you reading the King James Version or the New International Version of the Constitution?

The Framers didn’t number the clauses. Numbering them is for convenience of location. It has become a tradition that when a clause is rendered moot by subsequent amendment, the clauses below the moot clause move up in the numbering system.
So the natural born citizen requirement is in clause five of the original constitution but it’s in clause four of modern versions.
The original clause three was rendered moot by the adoption of the 12th Amendment in 1804.
