Natural born citizen was a commonly understood phrase until concerted efforts to undermine it in the second half of the 20th century.

Apparently not since a lot of effort went into writing laws that defined who was natural-born and who wasn't, starting in 1787 I believe.

I daresay you cannot come up with a single law defining "natural born citizen" from that time period.

If you understood what the founders meant when they referred to "natural law", you would know that making a law regarding "natural born citizen" is a contradiction in terms.
