“A person who is a citizen at birth is a natural born citizen”

That is a lie. Show me the exact term in 8 USC 1401 or anywhere in the 14th Amendment where the term ‘natural born Citizen is used. Just copy and paste it in your answer.

The one and only time Congress used the exact words “Natural Born Citizen” is in the very FIRST Naturalization Act of 1790 during the second session of the 1st Congress. The specific wording is, in part:

“...And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens....”

The first naturalization acts have been replaced by others and others subsequent to them, so that now the governing law is encoded in Title 8 Section 1401. Further, this clearly shows that the founding fathers established that children born to US Citizens are considered natural born Citizens. In addition, it shows that there is not physical birth requirement on US soil, possession or jurisdiction to qualify as a natural born citizen.

Further title 8 section 1401 reads as it’s starting sentance - The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:

Thus the status of citizenship is obtained at birth. A person who has citizenship at birth has no needs to be naturalized. There are only two categories of citizenship - naturalized or natural born. There is no “statutory” citizenship or any other type, class, or qualification of citizenship. Since there are only two types of citizenship, a person who is a citizen at birth has no need for, and can not further benefit from naturalization.
