YOU HAVE JUST SUMMARIZED THE FUTILITY OF THIS WHOLE DISCUSSION ...

No Court has ever ruled that there is a distinction between a “Citizen of the United States at birth” and a “Natural Born Citizen.”

NO COURT WILL EVER RULE THAT WAY EITHER, BECAUSE THERE IS NO DISTINCTION. THEY ARE THE SAME.

Blacks Law Dictionary (9th Edition) defines ‘Natural Born Citizen’ as “A person born within the jurisdiction of a national government.”

The problem is that the ones arguing that your parents have to be citizens at the time of your birth are confusing the fact that that only pertains if one is born in a foreign country. If your parents are U.S. citizens, then you automatically become a citizen of the U.S. But you would not be a native of the U.S. You would be a native of the place you were born.

But if you’re born in this country or its territories, no matter the citizenship status of your parents, you are native born, which is the same as natural born, as native and natural have the same meaning.
