“Both ways have the exact same status.”

Except when it comes to the Presidency of the United States. Then you MUST be a Natural Born Citizen. It is the only time it matters.

Yes, you must be a natural born citize, and native citizens ARE natural born citizens. They come at it two different ways, which is what makes them “different”. However, they are not different in result. They have the exact same status.

I know that’s not what you think SCOTUS said. But in fact, they deliberately steered clear of deciding whether the native born are also natural born, since it wasn’t at issue. So I have no idea why you keep bringing up the case.
