That’s only an amateur opinion. The federal courts have not ruled whether a person is naturalized or natural-born (as federal law from the 1790s says...) when one parent is a citizen and they are born on foreign soil.

“Natural born citizen” was a new term in the US Constitution. English law covers a “natural born subject” which is by definition, different.

A very good legal case can be made that natural born citizen = citizen from birth.

I found this on another thread. I can’t remember who posted it. Apparently their have been some rulings pertaining to this.

I’ll finish your sentence for you.....”=citizen from birth ..of two citizen parents, born of the soil”.

Now, how does that read?

A very good case can be made that the moon is made of green cheese.
