“There are several types of statutory citizens at birth that clearly aren’t natural born citizens.”

If you are a citizen at birth in the US, you will be eligible to be President. Unless you have a court statement or ruling backing up your view, that’s just your own supposition/definition, contrary to common understanding of the term.

"If you are a citizen at birth in the US, you will be eligible to be President."

Anchor babies, born in the U.S. (currently "granted" citizenship) with the possibility of triple citizenships are Natural Born Citizens?

You mean the framers put the NBC requirement in for ONLY the Commander in Chief of the armed forces to include persons born with foreign allegiance(s)?

b.t.w. What difference did the framers intend between a NBC for POTUS and a “citizen” for Reps and Senators? What was the difference between a “natural born” citizen...and a “citizen” in 1787?

Yeah, I do have a court statement that supports my view. Minor v. Happersett, which was also quoted by Wong Kim Ark says natural born citizen is defined OUTSIDE of the constitution and they proceeded to use the Vattel definition of natural born citizen in that persons must be born in the country of parents who are citizens. It’s very straightforward.

“...all children, born in a country of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens ...”
