No the rules are clear as can be.
You want them to be murky.
Anyone who is automatically a citizen at birth is a natural born citizen. What else could they be?
Use your brain.

So obama has been NBC all along, right?
NO- Someone born to TWO citizen parents is considered a NBC. The threshold for President or Vice President is ONLY for two positions in the entire country- no matter the population count. IT’S NOT COMPLICATED!
You are murky, and not using your brain. This issue is contested by millions on either side. You think it’s all one-sided? You are delusional. It is definitely murky. For instance, the 14th Amendment was passed to grant citizenship to former black slaves born in America. They were not automatically citizens even though they were born here. The 14th Amendment was created for the sole purpose of rectifying that injustice. Even then, citizenship was questionable for others if they weren’t white or black. Citizenship was withheld from many Asians right up into the 20th century. If it wasn’t murky, why was the issue of citizenship fought over for Asians long after the 14th Amendment? Rules were murky, and still are. You are deluded or brain dead.
Note: ...parent or parents...
There are three types of citizenship
* Natural Born Citizen, two citizen parents born on soil (exceptions for foreign born if parents are abroad in service to country) McCain
* Citizen by birth, foreign born to citizen parent(s) Ted Cruz
* Naturalized citizen, a person made a citizen by statute. Rafael Cruz
I base the above on the following
The authors cite to the Naturalization Act of 1790 and ignore the fact that the Naturalization Act of 1795, with the lead of then-Rep. James Madison and with the approval of President George Washington, repealed it and specifically changed "shall be considered as natural born citizens" to "shall be considered as citizens of the United States."
James Madison the "father of the Constitution" changed the wording from "natural born citizen" to "citizen". Madison was no dope and the change was to prevent a foriegn born from becoming Commander in Chief. But this also serves to illustrate that "citizen at birth" does not mean "natural born citizen".
