[Citizen Blade]

When the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, they were consciously trying to avoid jus sanguinis as Britain used this very doctrine to assert that anyone born anywhere of British parents is a British subject, and could therefore legally be pressed into the service of the Crown.

How do you square this claim with the fact that, in 1790, Congress (which still inclided many of the FF) passed a law which stated:

"And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or outside the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens."
