For example: what of the citizen who has always lived outside the country, but who was born to citizens who had traveled abroad?

The Constitution does require that the President be "14 years a resident" of the US. It may be that such a person is a natural born citizen, but is still excluded from the presidency in the same way a person under 35 years of age is.

Thanks for the reminder. I’m frazzeled by a personal issue that just came up in email, and posted without researching adequately.
