IF simply being born in the U.S. is enough to be considered a "natural born Citizen", then the current Dauphin of France (as considered by the Legitimists) Prince Louis Duke of Burgundy would be considered POTUS eligible.

Prince Louis was born in New York City, 2010. Yet, his father is a French and Spanish citizen (but not a U.S. citizen) and his mother is Venezuelan.

If the French decided to have another restoration of the House of Bourbon, the King of France would be considered POTUS eligible.
Imagine if Louis Alphonse were to be elected POTUS 1st (not possible? look what happened in 2008)...and then the French decided to restore the crown...wow!

Imagine that. The King of France and the President of the U.S. as one in the same.

I believe the founders and framers would be repulsed by the notion that such a foreign prince is eligible to be this nations Commander in Chief.

Yes, and I think that they covered such a contingency. I believe it was on their minds at the time. [Regarding royalty or nobility from outside the US being dubbed “eligible”.]
