Thus your continued insistence that there is a difference that I am somehow not acknowledging is rather ludicrous.

And your definition is not the author's definition, nor mine.

That is what I have attempted to help you understand, but you clearly do not want to grasp.

It's no threat to acknowledge opposing viewpoints, which is what you're refusing to do.

You will remain completely confused about several of these lawsuits, as a result. But, I'm done trying to elucidate you.

Have a good day.

Wow. On usconstittuion.net they use the EXACT SAME definition I do.

A U.S. citizen at birth is a “natural born citizen”, a U.S. citizen who was not a citizen at birth is a “naturalized citizen”.

I can acknowledge opposing viewpoints just fine, but your opposition is based on the mistaken notion that I am somehow not acknowledging that there is a difference between a “natural born” and a “naturalized” citizen, and I have kept them distinct, and defined them; correctly, from the beginning.

http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_citi.html

Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are “citizens of the United States at birth:”

Anyone born inside the United States
Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe
Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.
Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President. These provisions allow the children of military families to be considered natural-born, for example.

Also you used the word elucidate incorrectly.
