“The Naturalization Act of 1790 was repealed five years later. The wording for Natural Born citizen was absent. I wonder why?”

It doesn’t matter as far as the Constitution is concerned. The present naturalization act, I would assume, is much different that the one that replaced the Act of 1790. The only thing important with the 1790 Act is explanation of terms used in the Constitution.

An act passed three years later cannot affect the meaning of a Constitution written three years earlier.

I have read a different interpretation by founder and historian, David Ramsey. I wonder why the The Naturalization Act of 1790 was repealed?
