It's not "naturally born", it's "natural born" a term not defined in the Constitution, but probably well understood by the founding fathers because it was part of the common law.

The definition cannot be changed by simple passage of a statute by Congress. It means whatever it meant at the time that the Constitution was written.

Well what is un-natural born in 1776 to 1786?

Child not born of man?

Born on the outside of "nature"?

Interesting question.
