Is he a naturalized citizen? No. Then he must be a natural born citizen, because there is nothing else for him to be. No other category exists.

Actually, there is. Citizen and Natural born citizen. Under citizen one can either be naturalized or born on US soil to one citizen parent and one non-citizen parent and still be a citizen, but not natural born citizen. Both parents must be citizens to qualify as natural born citizen.

“Under citizen one can either be naturalized or born on US soil to one citizen parent and one non-citizen parent and still be a citizen, but not natural born citizen.”\

So what you’re saying is there are really three categories of citizenship: natural born, born but not natural, and naturalized. Sorry to break it to you, but the middle one doesn’t exist. You are either natural or naturalized.
