One of the problems with this argument is that there seems to be this belief that the Constitution itself is legislation. It’s not. It’s the framework that legislation has to fall into.
The Constitution gave Congress the power to Naturalize citizens, but it did not say how. The 1790 Act is the how.
Similarly the Constitution states that one must meet certain requirements to be eligible for the Presidency. But it doesn’t say “how” that is to be done. And, frankly, there really isn’t a mechanism for the “how.”
The best bet is to stop this angels balancing on the head of a pin stuff and get either the states or Congress to pass a bill explaining how this is done.
No one seems terribly interested in doing this though.
Precisely my point. A "Naturalized" citizen is not mentioned in the Constitution...as contended by others.
