What the Amendment did was to specify who is a [natural] born citizen

The phrase "natural born citizen" never occurs in the 14th Amendment.

It doesn’t need to. There has been no judicial holding on the Citizenship clause of Article 1 of the 14th Amendment which says that a born citizen and a natural born citizen are separate categories. Also there has been no act of Congress which specifies such a distinction.
