See this portion of post #51, my point in quoting the part 7) in the ins rule was to show that there was a difference between “native-born citizen” and “natural -born citizen” .
.”..and restore the status of native-born or natural-born citizen (whichever existed prior to the loss) as of the date citizenship was reacquired.”
What category of citizenship existed for a man , but not for a woman (or vice versa )?
Prior to the Nineteenth, citizenship for women!= citizenship for men, the two had distinct legal structures and status.
After the Nineteenth - this was eliminated. The document you’ve uncovered concerns a very specific class of American citizen - American women who married and lived abroad, and were married to non American citizens who would be considered aliens.
It also mentions what to do about American women married to those who were not eligible for immigration privileges (due to race restrictions), and how after the war - all of them were offered to restore their citizenship when they returned to the United States.
Your document does not contain:
1, your interpretation of the law
2, any references to anyone save women
What you would need is the document which defines both terms - which this document does not provide. NBC - refers to the voting class, which back then - would not have included all women.
