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.

The only way NBC will be clarified is if ... the Paleo-Birthers join forces with Martha Coakley, Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ... and disqualify somebody from the primary ballot or general election ballot in Massachusetts.
You can see that the Natural Born Paleo-Birthers have Natural Born Allies in the commie-Lawyers who like to file Federal Lawsuits.

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.
