The opinion of the supreme court in 1967 said a naturalized citizen had the same rights and standing as a native born citizen..based on this..are you saying a naturalized citizen can be president?

Makes it real easy for a uh... *cough* usurper to become president.

“native born” != “natural born”

Therefore even if “naturalized” = “native,” neither “naturalized” nor “native” = “natural born”

These categories may seem like hair-splitting, but they were created for the value of their difference in meaning. It is axiomatic that the words of a law are to be read as if they had meaning, i.e., different usages default to meaning different things unless proven otherwise.
