Natural born and “by birth” are one in the same in the year 2010, in these United States of America.

Where is that written?

It's the 1787 meaning that is of interest. What you, or anyone else thinks it is now, doesn't count. What it meant when the contract was written, in 1787, that is what counts.

I don't know how you can even say what it means in 2010, since that part of the contract has never come up, although it should have once, so its meaning has not been adjudicated.
