FYI: My son was born in England, and has a British father. I took him to the US Embassy in London when he was a month old to get him registered as a US Citizen. I was given a

Certificate of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America and a US passport with his name and photo on it.

The words "natural born" do not occur on any of the explanatory information that I was also given about his situation. My understanding has been that he could not run for POTUS, just as my husband could not play rugby for Wales. But that is not explicitly written anywhere on the official info given to me that day.
