I also think MSNBC is wrong. As far as I know, one of the qualifications requires you to be a natural born citizen, that is, born within the United States and its territories. While you can still obtain US citizenship for having been born to a US citizen in a foreign country, I don't think you are eligible for the Presidency.
Basically you can't be born in a foreign country (to a US citizen), acquire US citizenship simultaneously, live there for a long time, and then come to the US and become President. That defeats the whole purpose of not letting foreigners get into the White House.
Citizenship has to be through jus soli.
plus if you are running for some political office, most likely they will require you to relinquish any ties to former nation, that means giving up your citizenship. same in the military as well.
