[DiogenesLamp]

There is, however, one former US law that does define “natural born citizen”. That is the law of 1790. It defined natural born to include those born overseas to US parents. So, blood descent was also considered “natural born” by that law.

Do you like that part of the law that forbids citizenship to the children of a foreign father?

Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States:

Not only are such children not "natural born citizens" they are not even citizens at all.

I really really really do not understand why you keep quoting a law which blows your argument to bits.

And you also keep not noticing that it is a NATURALIZATION Law.

No, it does no such thing. It says that at that time descent was passed through the father. Those days are in the past. The principle, though, was that one parent could pass on citizenship, and that has been retained in US law.

So, a natural born citizen includes those of the same blood descent as the citizen parent.
