Derivative citizenship, the situation where a person born abroad acquires U.S. citizenship through their parents, is naturalization.All sounds good but then the Naturalization Act of 1790 says this...
" 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: Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: Provided also, that no person heretofore proscribed by any States, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid, except by an Act of the Legislature of the State in which such person was proscribed."

Yes, derivative citizenship by naturalization statute is naturalization. Is there a point you are trying to make?

has the naturalization Act of 1790 been updated since then?
If it has been updated which standards or policies are in effect?
Those from 1790 or from more current?
