“The act “defined” nothing.”

Really?

“the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens:

“the children of citizens of the United States that may be born...shall be considered as natural born citizens.”

See how that works?

[DiogenesLamp]

"...shall be considered as..."

See how that works?

Yes, it means they aren't.
