“Natural Born Citizen and Native Born Citizen are two different things.”

Neither one exists. “natural born” was a description, not a title.

Fair point. Perhaps I shouldn’t have capitalized the terms.

I would argue that it is a "term of art" specifically know to the founders by their reading and familiarity with the writings of Grotius, Pufendorf and Vattel, who's collective works and Vattel's specifically, are referred to as the Laws of Nations.
