Since the adoption of the 14th Amendment, the Supreme Court has recognized only two classes of U.S. Citizenship and Congress has passed no legislation altering or further clarifying the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause.

Class One: Citizens of the United States At Birth/Natural Born Citizens.

There is no Supreme Court ruling which conflates born citizen with natural born citizen.

That in itself should give you a clue. The Constitution requires a "NATURAL born citizen," not merely a "born citizen."

Well, you have your opinion and I have a different opinion. My opinion is partially based on the fact that there have been 207 original jurisdiction challenges to Barack Obama’s eligibility as a natural born citizen. There have also been 91 state and federal appellate court rulings and 20 appeals for Certiorari or application for stays, injunctions or extraordinary writs at the Supreme Court of the United States.
No court and no individual trier of fact has ever ruled that Obama does not qualify as a natural born citizen and sixteen courts have ruled that he does indeed qualify as a natural born citizen. Counting the three, five, seven and nine justice appellate and Supreme Court panels, well over 500 judges have had an opportunity to look at this issue.
I’ll continue to go with those facts.

“Based on the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the United States are ‘natural born citizens’ for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.”—Indiana Court of Appeals, November 12, 2009

“For the purposes of this analysis, the Court considered that Barack Obama was born in the United States. Therefore, as discussed in Ankeny, he became a citizen at birth and is a natural born citizen. Accordingly, President Barack Obama is eligible as a candidate for the presidential primary under O.C.G.A. under Section 21-2-5(b). February 3, 2012

“Arizona courts are bound by United States Supreme Court precedent in construing the United States Constitution, and this precedent fully supports that President Obama is a natural born citizen under the Constitution and thus qualified to hold the office of President. Contrary to Plaintiff’s assertion, Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), does not hold otherwise.”—March 7, 2012
