imo I think they would let that person run. The issue has never come up.  But when it does, I'm almost sure they would not determine that a person born overseas to two US citizens could not run for president.

The offspring of 2 U.S. citizens is a U.S. citizen regardless of where the conception and/or birth take place.

I was conceived in Hong Kong while my parents were on vacation.   :)
