Then show where "Natural Born Citizen" is defined in codified law?

That is EXACTLY my point. Congress has FAILED to define what is and what is not an NBC. Congress has defined citizenship at birth (title 8 section 1401) but in that code, there is no subsection that identifies NBC. Bad Congress. Needs to find the will to fix.

They haven't because they CAN'T.

You can't make anything 'natural' - it's like saying "He was a lefty, but I made him a natural righty".

And USC 8 applies to ALIENS, not citizens.

And I am totally okay with Congress "fixing" it -- with an appropriate political battle taking place. But until such time ... original intent stands : Jus Soli + Jus Sanguinis = Natural Born Citizen.
