What if someone from American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or Puerto Rico runs? Might be interesting in a legal sense.

Anyone parent from the above places are U. S. citizens I believe, any child born to a U. S. citizen is automatically a U. S. citizen no matter where they are physically born. So I’d say that anyone running for President from any of the above places is eligible.

To be a citizen of the U. S. one must fit into any of the following categories: Be born to a U. S. citizen parent. (one or both). Be born in the U. S. claimed territory, (all fifty states and some, if not all, the territories quoted above. Marry a U. S. citizen. Become naturalized. The first two qualify one for “Naturally Born” the second two do not. Obama’s mother was a citizen, Obama therefore is a “Naturally Born” citizen as well. End of story.
