If one does enough research on this subject, there’s something that does begin to become obvious....some, certainly not all or even the majority of courts begin to use the term “natural born” and “native born” as if they were interchangeable.

The terms are NOT synonymous and there has been no definative decision or precedent to make them so.

native-born just indicates a place of birth. The word "natural" means that the item following is citizenship.

If a foreign diplomat has a child while on assignment in the US, the child is native-born US. It's a clinical fact. Citizenship is a legal inquiry, and applies following consitutions, statutes, and regulations.
