What are you quoting? If it’s a law and not the Constitution, it does not apply. This is a good article to demonstrate what scholars thought in the 1800s. Gives an idea what the terms meant back then, not now, when people try to reinterpret the plain words of the Constitution. The INTENT of the Founders is what matters. And the reason WHY they believed it crucial that no president have divided loyalties. Thus, born on US soil to US citizen parentS.

Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1790 states that those Children born to American citizens( even outside of our borders) are Natural born . The founding fathers felt that loyalty to our nation was derived from the parents. The founding fathers DID NOT recogize JUS SOLI( BORN ON AMERICAN SOIL) as grounds for citizenship. Anchor babies have no right to citizenship as their parents have no allegiance to the U.S.
