Observe again the Naturalization Act of 1790 which granted Natural Born Citizen status to children of American citizens who were born outside of the U.S.

No kidding.

The point being made is that naturalization acts can and do create citizens at birth. You refuse to accept this despite overwhelming evidence.

The 1790 Act is not the Act in force today, or at any time after January 29, 1795.

The 1790 Act demonstrates two things: 1) children of American citizens who were born outside of the U.S. where aliens requiring naturalization, and 2) since January 29, 1795 Congress has not enacted any Act conferring citizenship on the children of American citizens who were born outside of the U.S. as anything other than “citizen”

And there's your big error: Congress cannot confer the natural born status — by the Constitution they have only the power over a uniform rule of naturalization.

Well first of all, it is a "NATURALIZATION" act. It says so in the title. Secondly, it says " "shall be considered as natural born citizens".

"Shall be considered as" does not mean "is." Do I need to get Bill Clinton to explain to you the definition of "Is"?

If Natural Born Citizen is a dollar bill, the "naturalization act of 1790 just declared your four quarters as equal to it... but that didn't make it the same thing.
