It seems you responded while I was making my reply.

You forget that these "citizens" begat "natural born citizens. Anyone born there of citizen parents is now a natural born citizen, whether congress said so of the original citizens or not.
The language is concise. There is no sunset date in the statute so how is it eliminated to allow natural born citizens to be born?

I'll have to go back and look at it. From my initial reading it would seem that if a statute made them citizens, then their offspring would thereafter be "natural born citizens."

I have to go now, i'll resume where I left off later, or perhaps tomorrow.

The same way the Sun rises in the East every morning, in spite of what positive law requires or prohibits. A person is either alive or dead, a natural citizen or not, regardless of the law.
