[Non-Sequitur]

Naturalized yes, Natural born, no.

And how do you determine naturalization laws without first defining natural born? Especially since the Constitution itself doesn't do so?

Ah, I think the term natural born just means citizen at birth -- born as a natural citizen.

Anyone that is naturalized becomes a citizen but wasn't born one.

And how do you determine naturalization laws without first defining natural born?

1) Natural born citizens - those born inside the US and its territories AND whose parents are BOTH US citizens (mentioned in the US Constitution only in terms of the qualifications to be the POTUS) thereby having no loyalties to other nations at birth

2) Naturalized citizens - those originally citizens of another country who have legally immigrated here and choose to swear allegiance to the US as its citizens after meeting all requirements established by law (like Arnold Schwartzenegger), and

3) US citizens by statute who are neither natural born nor naturalized, such as those born outside of the US and its territories but whose parents are both US citizens, eg. McCain, and those born with one parent who is a US citizen and the other parent a citizen of another country, eg. Obama.
