>Are you sure about the "natural born"? It may become interesting if such words are actually in the law, because in about fifteen years first US kids born in vitro will come of age... and if one of them runs, and the opponent's staff find this "not natural born" tag. That's not even SF, that's L&Order :).

As usual, you've found an ambiguity in English. I'm pretty sure you know that, in this context, "natural born" means
"born a citizen." FWIW, the exact phrasing from Article II of the Constitution is:

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

Personally, I'd omit the comma between "United States" and "at the time" for clarity. <s>
