The supreme court have said that they wouldn't stop a foreign born citizen running for president and that the way you uphold the no foreign born president thing is by not voting for somebody who wasn't born in the States, so I'm not sure that it would be that much of a barrier. Ted Cruz was in the 2016 primary and was born in Canada, Tulsi Gabbard was born in American Samoa and was in the 2020 democratic primary and John McCain was born in Panama and ran for president against Obama.
There's also the argument that the 14th amendment removes the natural born citizen thing.
