The problem with reliance on natural law is that there is no codified natural law. Some Americans at the founding would have said that they have the natural law right to own property, including slaves. Likewise, King George felt he had the natural law right to rule America.

Then show where "Natural Born Citizen" is defined in codified law? Not "Naturalized Citizen" but "Natural Born Citizen"; note the difference. To my knowledge the definition has never been changed from original intent. And I've searched. The sum total of all we know of the Framers original intent indicates Jus Soli and Jus Sanguinis combined are the gold standard. Prove otherwise, or original intent stands.

[I] find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen
