So where does the Declaration of Independence define natural-born citizenship? Point that out and it would clear the whole thing up I would think.

It appeals to the "laws of nature, and of nature's God". It identifies the philosophical foundation upon which it is based, and within the framework of that philosophical foundation, the meaning of "natural born" is defined.

"Natural Law" was a thing back then.

OK so then where are the laws of nature and of nature's God written down?
