A natural born citizen is someone who is a citizen by birth, not needing naturalization.
What makes naturalization unnecessary?

“What makes naturalization unnecessary?”

Ummm...naturalization is what makes a non-citizen a citizen. If they are born a citizen, then there is no need. And with a few rare exceptions, if you are born in the USA, or born to two US citizens while overseas, you are born a citizen of the USA - a ‘natural born citizen’, per the understanding of the folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution.
