Section 301 is about those who are automatically citizens at birth. It says “shall be citizens at birth”.

You left this part out.... and shall be declared "Natural Born Citizens" as defined in the Constitution as one of the requirements to be President of The United States.

Well of course you left that part out because you know none of the drivel in this post can make that argument a fact.

I didn’t leave anything out. I copy/pasted the entire Section 301 that is in the relevant, 1952 law.

There is no section in the law that says “and shall be declared “natural born citizens”.

There is no law since the 1790 Law that George Washington signed in which George Washington agreed that a child born to US citizens abroad met the meaning of the term “natural born citizen” as he understood it. Who would know better than George Washington who presided over the Constitutional Convention that produced the very Constitution we are discussing and that had been ratified only 3 years earlier than the 1790 law.

Do you know that George Washington signed the 1790 law that saw no contradiction with using “natural born citizen” to describe a citizens born overseas to US citizen parents?
