Why did the Founding Fathers change the original presidential eligibility requirement from "born a Citizen" to "No person except a natural born Citizen"?

Why the founders changed the language, or what they thought it meant, is an interesting question.

What it is NOT is a statute or an on-point precedent which disqualifies Obama.

If you think the Vattel argument would be adopted by the USSC and then be retroactively applied to remove a sitting President, I think you are mistaken.
