The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the
country, of parents who are citizens.
English terms; used to render the idea convyed by the
French phrase “les naturels, ou indigenes”: but both refered to the same category of citizen: one born in the country,
of parents who were citizens of that country.
“indigenous”, means “begotten from within” (inde-genes), as in the phrase “the
indigenous natives are the peoples who have been born and lived there for generations.” Hence the meaning the the term,
“natural born citizen”, or “naturels ou indigenes” is the same: born in the country of two parents who are citizens of
that country.
The natives or indigenes are those born in the country of parents who are citizens.
CONCLUSION Finally it should be noted, that to define a term is to indicate the category or class of things which it signifies. In this sense, the Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.
