From what I have read Native born appears to be a concept that is contemporary to the writing of the constitution, or rather found in those documents that were the basis for the constitution.
The constitution as great as it is does not cover every eventuality of law, as the frame work of our nation it provides a base from which all other things can be built upon with certain exceptions, those things that the constitution says must be applied, the requirement of a Natural Born citizen rather than any other type of citizen as president is one of those exception.
The Constitution states The president must be a natural born citizen, and it doesn’t state how many other types of citizens there may be.
Some here have even dared to suggest that a son of the Iranian President born in the air space above Hawaii on an Iranian aircraft that never lands on US soil would be considered a Natural born citizen of the United States and equally eligible to be president even if he never set foot in the United States.
What we are talking about here is a question not just about citizenship but of a greater issue and the reason for the Natural born clause: fidelity and loyalty to the United States and it’s laws, customs and in the end to its very existance, and that’s why our founding fathers put it into the Constitution. It is the clause that is meant to protect this country from someone that will go to any lengths to destroy it.
And right now I have to say that Obama is well on his way to destroying this country.
But it only identifies two - natural born and naturalized. If there are more than two then federal law would be expected to identify that, and it doesn't.

That would be incorrect, as the Supreme Court ruled in the Ark case.
And right now I have to say that Obama is well on his way to destroying this country.
You should have more faith in the ability of our country to survive and thrive. We've survived worse than Obama, we'll survive him.
