Yes, a dictionary is the final say on what allegiance is. If you want to argue by dictionary:
Traitor
1. a person who betrays another, a cause, or any trust.
2. a person who commits treason by betraying his or her country.
Betray
Be disloyal to: "he betrayed them".
Be disloyal to (one's country, organization, or ideology) by acting in the interests of an enemy.
Allegiance
1. the loyalty of a citizen to his or her government or of a subject to his or her sovereign.
2. loyalty or devotion to some person, group, cause, or the like.
A traitor is someone who betrays his country (by joining the enemy or benefiting our enemy); Some who betrays has no loyalty to our country; allegiance requires LOYALTY.

so, you believe, if a child has a foreign parent whose homeland does not recognize jus sanguinis citizenship then that child is eligible to be president. correct?
Which country would that be? Which country refuses to recognize the citizenship of its own citizens' children merely due to birth abroad?
Jay's letter, the originating source of the NBC clause, precludes foreign influence, not alien influence. You're off track.
Wrong again, Ranger. The originating source of the NBC clause is the prior three centuries of British Common Law from which the term derives as a specific and unambiguous term of art.

Dumb question. Only some born foreign citizens are natural born US citizens. Those would be "All persons born ... in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof."
If you don't recognize it, that's the 14th Amendment.
And as several Supreme Court decisions have noted, the 14th Amendment merely affirms the law in place under the original Constitution.

well right off the top of my head we know that the US had age requirements for the mother of births abroad in 1961.
