Nor has the fact that Obama had, or may have had, dual citizenship at the time of his birth and thereafter been held to deny him the status of natural born.

Of course it doesn't. The federal government started this new type of citizen years ago called statutory natural born. to supplant the sovereignty of other nations by disregarding the pesky thing known as Natural Allegiance.

Not to mention that the term itself in real world language means Man-made human being.

Statutory law is man made, or positive law .
n. statutory man-made law, as compared to "natural law," which is purportedly based on universally accepted moral principles, "God's law," and/or derived from nature and reason. The term "positive law" was first used by Thomas Hobbes in Leviathan (1651).

As compared to Natural Law
n. 1) standards of conduct derived from traditional moral principles (first mentioned by Roman jurists in the first century A.D.) and/or God's law and will. The biblical ten commandments, such as "thou shall not kill," are often included in those principles. Natural law assumes that all people believe in the same Judeo-Christian God and thus share an understanding of natural law premises.
2) the body of laws derived from nature and reason, embodied in the Declaration of Independence assertion that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
3) the opposite of "positive law," which is created by mankind through the state.

Read the last one again:
3) the opposite of "positive law," which is created by mankind through the state.

So if, by legal definitions, natural law is the OPPOSITE of statutory law....

how can it create a natural born citizen?

[Nero Germanicus]

Statutory law didn’t create, it defined.
And what statutory law defined in ths instance is who are “Citizens of the United States At Birth” under the 14th Amendment.
It is JUDGES who have equated natural born citizens with Citizens of the United States At Birth.
The fifth section of the 14th Amendment says: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Defining born citizenship and naturalized citizenship as stipulated in Section 1 of the 14th amendment fell to Congress.
