Because I clearly remembering being taught that there were two types of citizens, natural born and naturalized.

You have it correct. There are only two types of citizens. What you have backwards is which status is the higher bar. You seem to believe that everyone here not submitting themselves to a naturalization process must be natural born. Not so. That is backwards. Natural born is the higher bar. As such, everyone here not natural born, must have been naturalized (or be foreign aliens). So how were citizens among these naturalized? Folks have been naturalized by adoption, marriage, and decree as well as through the legal naturalization process defined by Congress you are familiar with. For example, the citizens of Puerto Rico were collectively naturalized as U.S. citizens under the Jones Act in 1917. Being a naturalized citizen is easy. Being a natural born citizen is the limited quantity. Your high school government teacher should have discussed the myriad of means to become naturalized. Mine did. There remains only one set of circumstances permitting one to be natural born ... born in country of parents who are citizens.

You misunderstood me. I was taught there were two types of citizens: naturalized and natural born, stop end of story. Anyone who did not have to go through a naturalition process is a natural born citizen. This is what I was taught at both the high school and college level in the 80s and 90s. I had never heard any nonsense about three types of citizens; natural born citizen, citizen, and naturalized citizen, until the birther movement started.

The argument I was making in my previous post is that if there is a natural born citizen and a citizen status then this should be recorded on birth certificates. It’s not because it doesn’t exist.
