"naturalization act of 1790" That would be an act by Congress. You have stated they have no ability in defining Natural Born Citizen. If that is an acceptable method to define, then go to my previous statements.

You want to add requirements that don't exist in the constitution or in law. As you said before it is axiomatic.

If you will note, I said "Congress attempted to address the issue in 1790", not that they did or could.

Producing a status that is LIKE "natural born citizen" is perfectly useable for every purpose but one.

In America, the Constitution IS the law. All other law derives it's power from that document. I am not wanting to add anything to the Constitution, I am saying that those requirements are already in there. Most of us have just forgotten them.
