"What I am talking about is the law from the first congress that said if your father was not an american citizen, you could not be considered natural born."

That law referred to those born overseas or on the high seas - out side of the US. It did not in any way apply to anyone born in the USA. Also, it required BOTH parents to be US citizens, not just the father.

"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..."

And it continues:

PROVIDED, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons who’s fathers have never been resident in the United States.
