Oh, I think discussions of birthright citizenship and its relationship to the 44th President of the United States and a possible 45th President of the United States have everything to do with natural born citizenship.

Undoubtedly. But that is not what you alleged. You have alleged that Statutory law has some influence on the meaning of "natural born citizen". It has none. The law cannot define a class which exited prior to the creation of the law. Statutory law may make naturalized citizens, but it cannot make natural citizens.

You wish to conflate statutory citizenship with natural citizenship and this is an error of logic. (And a deliberate one I think.)
