No, I am not addressing it to you .

In general, if anyone is going to put in the 1790 Act in their analysis - then they also need to put in that James Madison , not just any Founding Father, took it out when he repealed that law. He chaired the committee.

It is incomplete and misleading analysis without it.

What’s interesting is that in the 1790 Act, they codified a definition of a Natural Born Citizen.

And since it would be unconstitutional to change by statute the definition of a Natural Born Citizen, then weren’t they simply reiterating the definition as believed by the Founders?
