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
Its really rather simple.

You keep harping on this page referencing the US Code, so where is the term "NATURAL BORN" in this? Probably the same place the "RIGHT TO PRIVACY" is located in the Constitution - nowhere! Yet Roe vs. Wade was decided on what is - dare I say it - a MYTH!
The fact remains that the Founding Fathers created a unique citizenship requirement for the office of the President, and a dual-citizen - one with possibly divided allegiances - cannot possibly be in line with their intentions to qualify as a NBC. Original Intent is EXTREMELY important! I really don't buy your arguments (see post here for more info on Vattel and Franklin):
Constitution's "Natural Born Citizen" defined by Vattal's "Law of Nations"
