Natural born = Born on US soil + Born of US citizen parents.

This definition of "Natural Born" exists nowhere in the U.S. Constitution.

“Natural born = Born on US soil + Born of US citizen parents.”

“This definition of “Natural Born” exists nowhere in the U.S. Constitution.”

You are correct that the Constitution does not state: “The definition of ‘natural born’citizen is......”.

One must interpret the Constitution as to the meaning expressed by our Founding Fathers and through additional ammendments and case law writings. The information at the link you provided also supports the meaning of “natural born” as it pertains to one who would be Commander in Chief.

I am sure the SCOTUS will end up making a ruling on the meaning of “natural born” in reference to the Obama had the Constitutional qualifications of anyone who would hold the Office of President or Vice President.

I still believe that both John McCain and Barack Obama do not meet the constitutional requirements to be President.
