One more thing, The members of the First US Congress that defined by law what a Natural Born Citizen is were the Founding Fathers,that law was signed into law by our very first President.

Amazingly that fact of who the authors were of that actual definition in US law is completely ignored by those that say the Founding Fathers never defined what a Natural Born Citizen was by Law.

We can argue Vattel until we are blue in the face but The Founding Fathers defined what a Natural Born Citizen was in the very First Congresand more importantly they made it the law of the land.

So...only people born overseas of U.S. citizen parents are natural-born citizens? Kind of bites for people born here, doesn't it?

That law did not define “natural born citizen” it extended (briefly) the label to children of citizens born overseas. It had no relevance to children born on US soil.
