No. Absolutely not.
A native born citizen is one who is born in the United States.
A natural born citizen is one born in the United States to parents who are citizens of the United States
It’s really rather simple.
Native born equates to denizen, in my reading. Natural born citizenship is the pinnacle of a progressive, incremental process of acquiring the full rights of citizenship, under a system contemplated and debated at length by Congress in 1790. Length of residency, ability to own or inherit property, eligibility to vote, eligibility to elected office in tiered levels based upon increasing length of residence ... it’s all quite orderly.
I posted a thread on this last night, and was disappointed in the lack of response. The link, to The University Of Chicago Press’ “The Founders’ Constitution,” contains a veritable treasure trove of Congressional Records, Supreme Court decisions, etcetera, all cross referenced and searchable. You can find the thread under keyword “Consitution.”
The Presidency was reserved unto the children of naturalized citizens at a minimum. Citizens by nature, without an iota of doubt as to their allegiance due to being under the complete and sole jurisdiction, from birth, of the United States, had no such generational “waiting period.”
Outside of this, the rights and duties of citizenship were and are indistinguishable under the Constiution, from the most newly minted, naturalized citizen to someone such as myself, who doesn’t have one single ancestor who arrived here later than 1738.
Only the Constitution makes any distinction, and that distinction pertains to elected, national office. Statutory law makes no distinction, because it literally cannot make a distinction, under the Constitution.
No. Absolutely not.

You have no law whatsoever and no SCOTUS decision to back up this myth. See http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/8/1401.html.
