The 1790 law was Unconstitutional, and quickly re-written.
Congress has the power to Naturalize citizens ONLY. It cannot create Natural Born Citizens.
Natural Born Citizens are determined by Natural Law, no law made by Man can address it.
The Foundation of Natural Law is self-evidence. As in “We hold these truths to be self-evident...” Self-evidence dictates that a child born to US citizens on US soil is a Natural Born Citizen of the US.
ANYTHING that complicates the matter obviates that Natural Born Citizen status. Thus, when women became able to pass THEIR citizenship to children, Natural Law for a Natural Born Citizen ceased to rely only upon the father’s citizenship and the child’s birth location, but now includes *both* parents.
CONGRESS has the power to Naturalize Citizens. That’s it...nothing more...but, it has been ruled that having the power, they have unlimited scope within that power. This allows Congress to Naturalize a child *at birth* AND without requiring *any* naturalization process. This is all it can do.
Congress *NEVER* had the power to legally write up who could be a Natural Born Citizen.
The entire point is moot until we once again have a Limited Constitutional Federal Republic.
From the many discussions here on FR, it is self-evident that your definition isn't self-evident.
