Foreign-born President

Why not? What if a President's daughter somehow was born while on an overseas trip, maybe a two weeks early (it probably wouldn't happen, but just go along with it)? Should place of birth disqualify someone from the presidency even if they are as American and patriotic as they could be? I'm sure there are plenty of Anti-Americans who can qualify for the presidency right now, so why don't we just open it up to people who actually are patriotic despite their place of birth.

Yes. Just yes.

Actually, that's not a disqualification.

If someone is traveling over Canadian airspace for example the baby becomes a Canadian citizen. Because the parents are American the child can become an American citizen very easily, but won't be born in America technically.
