My post was in specific reference to persons born in the United States and in one of the 50 states since that place became a state. Anyone who is a naturalized US Citizen has a Certificate of Naturalization or a Certificate of US Citizenship.

My point being that if there are distinctions between various "citizens-at-birth", some even being naturalized, there can be a distinction between "born in the US" and "born in the US of citizen parents", essentially between "native born",(modern meaning) or 14th amendment, and "natural born". There just have been no Supreme Court cases were such a distinction would matter.
