The context of this entire discussion is that some people are claiming "natural born citizen" means certain special things that are not apparent in those three words. So when someone offers that it is specifically defined somewhere it makes sense to ask for that definition. Asking me to define some other term has nothing to do with it.

But I'll humor you. Both "natural born citizen" and "native born citizen" mean anyone that is a citizen by birth.

The issue has never been adjudicated in the U.S. courts. You have your opinion and I have mine. If the Supreme Court now punts on this for whatever reason, the question will still exist until a time when the Supreme Court takes it up.
