It ain’t that difficult folks. The chick and Obama were born on US soil. They can run for President after age 35 if they have lived as American citizens (i.e. lived in the US and weren’t like a Canadian draft dodger living in a foreign land.) They are both citizens and had/have the right to run for the Presidency. The labeling of different types of citizenship is irrelevant! Never listen to a Loony Loomer.
I agree that it isn’t that difficult. You’re wrong, plain and simple.
>>”The labeling of different types of citizenship is irrelevant!”
Nonsense. If it were irrelevant then the framers wouldn’t have used the specific term “natural born citizen” in the Constitution, instead of simply using the term “citizen”.
Simple minded explanations usually aren't. They are also usually wrong.

The 14th amendment didn't re-write presidential eligibility requirements. Giving slaves citizenship did *NOT* make anyone born here a "natural citizen."
That is the wrong headed nonsense that got stuck in people's minds and is difficult to pry out of them, despite the fact that we have all sorts of examples (like the Indians) to prove it is incorrect.
