There’s a difference between Citizen and Natural Born Citizen.
Citizen includes all Foreign Spice Citizens whereas NBC does not.
By the way—if you have to point to positive law, including, for example, the 14th Amendment, to prove your membership in the U.S. polity, you’re a Naturalized (i.e., Foreign Spice) Citizen.
NBCs are what’s left over after all Positive Law Citizens are filtered out. In the long history of the United States, hey never had to point to positive law to prove their membership in the U.S. polity.
Being born in Cincinnati, OH is a natural-born citizen.
Regardless of parents’ status. He is a citizen and making a counterargument is absurd.

Excellent way to put it. If you have to use the 14th amendment to be a citizen, you aren't a natural citizen.
Some weeks ago I actually spent some time going through the debates on the 14th amendment. The congressmen themselves describe it as a naturalization law.

You should argue that to a court. Oh, never mind.
14A governs the citizenship status of all persons born within the territory of the United States. It has been doing so for a century and a half.
0 for 361 is not a good batting average.
