“So what you’re saying here is that there are only two ways to be a citizen (natural born/naturalized)?”

Yes. Its fairly simple. Either you are a US citizen at birth, or you become one at some point in your life (naturalization).

“I thought one could be a citizen at birth but still not be eligible for the presidency. “

No, that’s an inherent contradiction. A “natural-born US citizen” is someone who is a US citizen at birth, and that is the eligibility reqt to be President.

Thank you. I had thought there was another classification. One of being a citizen at birth but not eligible for the presidency.
