The early Congress saw that and decreed that those born overseas to a US citizen parent are “natural born citizens.”

Correct. Half of my siblings were born overseas. It has always been my understanding that they are "natural born citizens".

Your siblings are natural born citizens by both current law and the earliest law on the subject, and they would have been by British law on which the Founders relied.
