Therefore every person born within the United States, its territories or districts, whether the parents are citizens or aliens, is a natural born citizen in the sense of the Constitution, and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity

In order for a statement to be true it must always be true. The law cannot confer Natural Born Citizen status nor can it revoke it. The children of diplomats born on American soil are not natural born citizens. They're not even citizens.

You seem to want to play silly semantical games. Obviously, a true statement can be true within a particular context, or can have limited exceptions.

Drinking water is good for you.

Exercise is good for you.

Protein is good for you.

Democrats are liberals, and Republicans are conservatives.

All of the above are true statements. At the same time, they are true within a particular scope, or have limited exceptions. Drink enough water within a limited period of time, and it will kill you. Too much exercise can injure your body rather than help it. Eat only protein, and it's likely to ruin your health. And while the latter statement is generally true as well, a conservative being elected as a Democrat is not impossible, and we all know there are liberal Republicans.
