The first Congress passed the Naturalization Act of 1790 which exempted from needing naturalization “the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens”.

So if having an exception was good enough for the Founders and Framers who were in the first Congress in 1790, its good enough for me.

Sorry, Congress does not have the power to change the ,meaning of the Constitution by passing a law.

It is, in fact, interesting that they felt these children needed a law to define their status, which strongly implies that it wasn’t defined in the Constitution itself.

You still crack me up with that upsidedown logical double backflip with a half twist. :)

It reminds me of this:

One bright morning in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back-to-back they faced one another,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
One was blind and the other couldn't see,
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play,
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came and killed those two dead boys.
A paralyzed donkey walking by,
Kicked the copper in the eye,
Sent him through a rubber wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all.
(If you don't believe this lie is true,
Ask the blind man -- he saw it too!)
