Not mentioned is the fact that individuals whose citizenship obtains pursuant to the provisions of the 14th Amendment (and not by virtue of Natural Law/Law of Nations which is the case for NBCs) are citizens merely by virtue of Congress exercising it’s constitutionally-conferred power of Naturalization. In other words, they too are mere naturalized citizens.
Only NBCs are not naturalized citizens. All other U.S. citizens, whether native-born or overseas-born, are naturalized.citizens.

WHy should being born overseas matter? The only thing that should count is whether mom and dad are currently citizens. Just because you happen to be born on a military base in Germany, or while mom's on vacation in Mexico or Canada for the day, doesn't suddenly make you not a citizen. This should entirely pass down through the parents, irrespective of location.
