being born a citizen, whether by jus soli or the these days ignominious jus sanguinis, seems to quite easily qualify the 'natural born' part of the question.
born as a citizen. the mechanism doesn't matter, he's been a citizen since birth.

It works for me, hits the notes of the page, just scroll up to where the paragraph is in front of (25)

In her 1988 article in the Yale Law Journal, Jill Pryor wrote, "It is well settled that 'native-born' citizens, those born in the United States, qualify as natural born. It is also clear that persons born abroad of alien parents, who later become citizens by naturalization, do not. But whether a person born abroad of American parents, or of one American and one alien parent, qualifies as natural born has never been resolved."[25]

Like I said, I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I'm just stating that it's there. I'm not actually calling for it to happen. As it is there, I'm adding it to my scenario list, at least as a possibility as there seems to be some sliver of legitimacy to it, not simply the legitimacy of my own personal opinion.
