I love how they misquote the law at the bottom. First implying that it is about Natural Born Citienship, which it isn't. It is about passing on Citizenship to a child if born abroad. Here is the true text of the law :

Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock: A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) INA provided the citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen are required for physical presence in the U.S. to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.

She did not live in the US for 5 years after the age of 14 before he was born. If he was born overseas, he would not have US citizenship.

In addition for Constitutional intent there must be the distinction between ‘natural born citizen’ as only mentioned in Article II for the POTUSA and ‘citizen’ as noted elsewhere.
