I am not going to read all that, I can just say that adopting a code for naturalization does not override the Constitution requirements to be president.

U.S. Nationals are not eligible to serve as President or Vice President of the United States of America. “Citizens of the United States at birth” are not eligible to serve as President or Vice President of the United States, unless they are also natural born citizens by virtue of being born in the United States with both parents being U.S. citizens at the time of birth to exclude any and all natural born, jus sanguinis and jus soli, allegiances to foreign sovereigns. U.S. Citizenship for a child born in a foreign jurisdiction must be requested from the U.S. Department of State by application to recognize the foreign birth, and such a U.S. Department of State recognition of U.S. citizenship by foreign birth is subject to legal revocation. Such a revocation of U.S. citizenship by the U.S. Department of State is not possible in the case of a natural born U.S. citizen, because the natural born allegiance to the United States resulting from having two U.S. citizen parents and birth within the United States precludes any possibility of foreign citizenship and allegiance at birth.
