the term ‘natural born citizen’ means the person is a citizen naturally as there are no alternatives.

if their parents were mexican, for example, they are a naturally born mexican citizen, as there are no alternatives. even if they were born in the middle of Pennsylvania ave, they’d still be only mexican as the US does not bestow citizenship by the soil.

people like sen ted cruz, at birth, have/had numerous citizenship possibilities (in his case: American from his mother, cuban by the father, and canadian as canada does support citizenship by the soil)

and no, the 14th Amendment does not support citizenship by the soil, unless the parents were American slaves or native Americans within the US.
