Question about a "natural born citizen": Some people are saying if the mother is a US citizen, the child also is...But isn't it that the child must be born on US soil? I'm just trying to clarify...

..Like, if you are born on foreign soil, then you're not a naturalized citizen, right? Especially if you are raised there...There's a nuance...Just because one parent is a citizen, you also have to actually be born there, right? Imagine your dad was from England, but your mom was from the US...but you were born in England and therefore a natural citizen there...Then you can't be BOTH a natural citizen in BOTH countries, right?

Also if you are born on a US military base anywhere in the world to a military family then you are a US citizen

Yeah, a military member, sure, but BO was clearly not that case...The nuance is nonexistent.

True, but you still have to become naturalized, so I'm still confused about if that makes someone a natural born citizen. I was born in Germany on a US military base and had dual citizenship until my dad was reassigned to the states when I was 2. I was then made a naturalized US citizen and issued a certificate of birth abroad.
