NBC sounds very good in theory, but in practice there is no clear Constitutional answer one way or the other. That is precisely why NBC will never be heard or settled by the SCOTUS.
The only way NBC will be clarified is if SHTF and only if the hands shaping the renewed Constitution possess firm common sense.
SCOTUS will not define NBC because there is no "right" to the classification. Anyone can claim they are NBC. If don't believe them, then the only thing anyone can do is not vote for them.
Congress is not authorized to define NBC, only establish a uniform rule of immigration and naturalization.
The only way to determine if a person is ineligible for POTUS is to examine their immigration and naturalization papers on file with DHS. SCOTUS has opined, repeatedly, naturalized citizens are not eligible for POTUS. The State Department, in its policy guidance, asserts a statutory citizen (U.S citizen at birth born abroad with at least one U.S. Citizen parent) is not a naturalized citizen, even though a statutory citizen must comply with the Immigration and Naturalization Act to be issued a Certificate of Citizenship to prove U.S. Citizenship.

Most of the time for the most part, a candidate for POTUS is at least marginally honorable enough to not require a conflict on their NBC eligibility.
Nobama was never confronted, prior to being elected because blacks and liberals thought it was “their turin” and none of them cared if he was half Stalin.
Once sworn in, its rightfully a bitch to get them unsworn and they are legally POTUS short of impeachment.
