The Immigration Act of 1790 directly defines Natural Born citizen as being born of citizen parents, with citizenship devolving from the father.
“The Immigration Act of 1790 directly defines Natural Born citizen as being born of citizen parents, with citizenship devolving from the father.
So a NBC has to be born beyond the sea?
And 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: Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States .
The Congress’ first naturalization law, 1790 Act Naturalization Act, was found to be in error by key founders and framers such as Madison and thus on their instigation was totally repealed and replaced by the 1795 Naturalization Act which corrected the errors. No naturalization law since the 1790 erroneous one has ever mentioned the term “natural born Citizen” as Congress has no power under the U.S. Constitution or the laws of nature and Natural Law to create a “natural born Citizen”.
“The Immigration Act of 1790 directly defines Natural Born citizen as being born of citizen parents, with citizenship devolving from the father.’
No, Both parents have to be citizens AND the father must have RESIDED in the US.
As has been revealed ad nauseam. Congress cannot make a law that changes the definition of a word or phrase in the constitution as it was construed when it was written.
