“Your reading comprehension sucks. Even you own quote says “that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States,”

“That clause is talking about persons born outside the country.”

It says that Citizenship cannot descend to anyone with a foreign born father. THAT is the salient point. It is an indication of the Mindset of the Delegates of the Constitutional convention, ergo, it’s what they intended when they wrote article II.

I will point out to you, (Lest you think you are actually dealing with a simpleton as seems to be your impression.) that an ACT of Congress CANNOT redefine the meaning of an Article of the U.S. Constitution. ONLY an Amendment can do that. The Act of Congress is therefore meaningless, as are any subsequent codes or regulations.

It isn’t my reading comprehension that is faulty. It is my judgment in assessing your intelligence. I wrongly assumed you were astute enough to understand the point I was trying to make. Now that I see you require everything spelled out for you specifically and in an infantile manner, I will accommodate you to the best of my ability and the length of my patience.

You took something out of context then claimed it to be true. Again, your reading comprehension is horrible. Did you ever get past the third grade? Seriously? Go back and read it again. We seriously need to abolish the public screwel system.
