Just poking in here.
What does that mean .... "specifically removed" for the 1795 version?
Can you point to a link with some enlightenment?
A few days ago, someone posted the two texts side by side, and the only major change from 1790 to 1795 at the paragraph where natural born citizen(s) had been written was the substitution of ‘citizen’ where natural born citizen had been in the 1790 Act. I didn’t save that post ... but now I wish I had done so!
It means the only difference in the law was the absence of that term.
“Seriously, the term natural born citizen was specifically removed for the 1795 version.”

The 1790 act & the 1795 are Immigration Acts to define citizenship of immigrants and their children.
Natural born citizens require no law as their citizenship status at birth, they just are because they owe no allegiance to any country other than that of the USA.
***by the reason of soil and by the US citizenship of parentage(parents(both) whom were already US citizens)***
