What is with the comma after “United States” in Article II Section 1?

Wouldn’t good grammer indicate that it means:

“natural born Citizen at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution” Or “a Citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution”?

No. Article II, Section 1 is grammatically correct. The rule of punctuation has changed since 1787.
