-- ... would not need to be naturalized because he's a natural born citizen per the 14th Amendment and legislation in place when he was born. --

If citizenship depends on a statute, then it is naturalization, even if there is no naturalization ceremony. Rogers v. Bellei illustrates this.

That said, I would guess that nearly all of the public is of a mind that naturalization only occurs if and when there is a ceremony.

Naturalization only works on, and is only necessary for people who are not or would not be citizens otherwise.

And that is in the Constitution where exactly?

Rogers v. Bellei illustrates this.

Of course it did. Well, the kids living here so Rogers v. Bellei would be moot even if later law didn't supersede it.

Propably. So if there isn't a ceremony then are they natural born?

True. I don't see where Harry's kid needed a ceremony.
