“Elaborate specifically”

You and I and everyone we know knows that if SCOTUS were to rule on whether native born citizens were also natural born citizens (with or without two citizen parents), they’d rule in the affirmative. Not that SCOTUS is always right, but in this case the vast majority of experts and laymen alike would agree. Natural born citizen means to the civilized world citizen from birth. That’s all.

Hmmm.........So why did the founders use two types of Citizens in Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5?

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Not "citizen from birth" from two citizen-parents?
