To reply to your earlier post, The flaw in the argument can be found in the structure of the English language. Just as to “immunize” is to make one immune, so is “naturalize” the process that makes one “natural.” Anyone who has been naturalized is accorded all the rights and privileges of a natural citizen. This does not make him a natural-born citizen.

You understand! A naturalized citizen IS accorded all the rights and priveleges of a natural born citizen except that he cannot run for President as stipulated in the Constitution. A naturalized citizen is not born in this country - not “natural” born - thus ineligible for the office. That is the distinction.

Since as long as I can remember, if you are born in the U.S you get a U.S. birth certificate. That is not naturalization - that is natural born.

No, a natural citizen is identical in all regards to a naturalized citizen. Neither one meets the requirement for NBC. The framers of the 14th Amendment were explicit that the birthright citizens created by the Amendment would be natural citizens, but not Natural Born Citizens.
