No, Arnie is not a ‘naturalized citizen’. He is a citizen of the United States BECAUSE he was naturalized.

Please read the 14th Amendment. It does not define NATURALIZED citizens. It defines CITIZENS of the United States.

Section 1. All persons born OR naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

This means all persons BORN in the US and subject to the jurisdiction thereof (Obama, Wong Kim Ark,)

AND

This means all persons NATURALIZED in the US and subject to the jurisdiction thereof (Arnold)

The Constitution recognizes TWO types of Citizens:

(1) Natural born citizens of the United States (President)
(2) Citizens of the United States (Not President)

What's the difference?

I agree. What's your point?

The Constitution recognizes TWO types of Citizens:

Sure- naturalized citizens (who cannot be President) and citizens from birth/natural-born citizens (who can). Both types qualify as citizens of the United States, but naturalized citizens cannot serve as President.
