“where Wong Kim, San Francisco born, was deemed a ‘citizen,’ but not a ‘natural born citizen’”

That’s so because his elligibility for the presidency was not at issue. But, as everyone with common sense and without an ideological axe to grind knows, born citizens are natural born citizens, and as such Wong Kim Ark could’ve been president (had anyone bothered to vote for him).
