YOU to Cobra: Oh, you say? The 1790 Naturalization Act contradicts it? Well sadly that presents you with two problems:

I don't think Cobra said that.

YOU : Here it is" "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."

LoL...They shouldn't be giving you any pay raises.

However the 1795 Naturalization Act 5 years later repealed and superceded the 1790 Act. And guess what? No more 'natural born citizen' declaration in the new naturalization law, which was replaced by only saying that "foreign-born children of American parents "shall be considered as citizens of the United States.""

Do you know why Congress removed the words 'natural born' from the previous statute? I'll let you guess.

Actually, yes. Cobra did, at least a couple different times.

"Do you know why Congress removed the words 'natural born' from the previous statute?"

Nope. And neither do you, and it does not matter anyway.

A repealed law is not a law.
