The Constitutional requirement to hold the office of president is 'natural born' . One either is or they are not at birth. No court or act of congress can give anybody 'natural born' standing.

The Constitution doesn't give 'natural born' standing. So where does it come from?

The Framers of our Constitution applied Vattel’s concept of “natural born citizen. As a Constitutional Republic natural born citizens not a monarchy where they have natural born subjects.

I have read that Charles Dumas, living in Europe sent Ben Franklin copies of Vattel’s “Law of Nations” (1775)

I have read that Franklin acknowledge receipt of these and claimed they were consulted frequently...

I am adjusting to a new to me computer and cut and paste function is yet to be mastered...

Natural Law. see the definition and cited Law of Nations, common law, and case law. That is why the word, “natural,” is in the phrase.
