I'm talking about the specific quote from Law of Nations, which is tossed around here a lot, which says a natural-born citizen is "those born in the country, of parents who are citizens."
It seems to me that the first Congress contradicted this definition when they said someone born outside the country could be a NBC.
I got it, sorry, I confused the issue. You are correct, the 1790 wording did contradict that and it was repealed in 1795. In Madison’s papers, he goes into how the 1790 Act was too lax and thus it was changed in 1795.
