"A law is a Legal definition and the US constitution is a definition of what our Government consists of."

No. A law is not a legal definition. A law is a written or positive rule or collection of rules prescribed under the authority of the state or nation, as by the people in its constitution. Some laws contain definitions, some laws do not.

The 1790 Naturalization Act did not contain the definition for natural born citizen. We know this because it would exclude anyone born on American soil from being an NBC and that would be moronic. The First Congress were not morons.

How right you are! And many were also part of the 1787 Constitutional Convention and could read English & French (and other languages) too ... what a surprise.

That said, the dubious award of "moron" goes to someone else near and dear ...
