This concept of natural-born citizenship occurring only via blood-right is SO simple, and despite the fact everyone wants to point at the 1790 Immigration Act that says children 'shall be deemed natural-born' citizens, they always forget one thing.
It's STILL an Immigration Act, so it cannot MAKE anyone a natural born citizen, that is ultra vires...or beyond the legal scope & power of Man, which is why its considered a Law of Nature.
The only thing the original Act did was 'entitle' members of the Founding generation to the privileges an immunities OF natural-born citizens.
March 6, 1790
……and John Sockman, first taking and subscribing the oath of allegiance to this commonwealth before two Justices of the peace shall be deemed adjuded and taken to be free citizens of this Commonwealth, and entitled to all the liberties, priviledges and immunities of natural born citizens.

This is the only reason they, and they alone are eligible for the president/Vice Presidents Offices despite not being 'natural-born' citizens.
