Being born in Cincinnati, OH is a natural-born citizen.
Regardless of parents’ status. He is a citizen and making a counterargument is absurd.
Why is this confusing?
Citizen, not "natural born citizen."

Yes, he's a "citizen." A naturalized citizen. That's it. That's all.
Why is this confusing?
Because people have worked hard to make it confusing. People deliberately conflate "citizen" with "natural born citizen" in an attempt to erase the distinction between the two.
The most significant person of whom I am aware who worked to create confusion on the issue of citizenship was William Rawle. He Deliberately lied about citizenship in the United States in his book "A View of the Constitution" which in the early 1800s became a widespread and widely read legal book dealing with constitutional issues.
This poison has polluted many legal minds that were influenced by it, and as a consequence, affected subsequent laws and court interpretations on the issue.
So yeah, it's confusing because some people worked to make it confusing. And now you are helping to sow more confusion.
