You describe basically the requirements for citizenship not natural born citizenship. Different things. Suggest you may enjoy some history of the founding fathers’ concerns that the presidency never fall Into hands of anyone having loyalties to Great Britain especially or other foreign governments.

Since the adoption of the 14th Amendment in 1865, there are only two types of American citizens: born and naturalized. There is no third variety, “natural born” that is distinct from a “Citizen of the United States at Birthwhich is the statutory term.

Ankeny v. Daniels, Indiana
A three judge panel of the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled unanimously: “Based on the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by [the Supreme Court in its 1898 decision in U.S. v.] Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the United States are ‘natural born citizens’ for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.”—Indiana Court of Appeals, November 12, 2009
