So does that mean that "a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" (8 U.S.C. § 1401, paragraph (a)) is not a natural born citizen, either?

It doesn't make them so, nor does it make them not. It only makes them a citizen, although it's also redundant, since it's the same criteria as the 14th amendment's

So like Schrödinger's cat they could simultaneously be borth? So what part of the law tips them one way or the other?
