We’re talking about the meaning of “natural born citizen” in the Constitution.

Clearly the Signers of the Constitution didn’t believe it means your load of BS. That the Act was changed later is completely irrelevant.

Oh, the act wasn't so much changed as those specific words were retracted. It explicitly changed the language from "be considered as natural born citizens" to "be considered as citizens".

You are the goofball that thinks subsequent law can change the meaning of a constitutional term, so deal with the fact that they ripped out that terminology to describe citizens which they naturalized by this act.

Again, if your theory LIVES by statutory citizenship then your theory DIES by statutory citizenship.

Mine, on the other hand, is still consistent and unaffected by any and all acts of congress.
