I do agree that the 1790 law does intend to define "natural born" and, although it was repealed, it does give insight into what the founders intended. I have no dog in the hunt, but am concerned that the intent is being twisted to promote an agenda or candidate.
Whether right or wrong, I believe that both parents must be citizens, but this eliminates Cruz and Rubio and their supporters will not allow for it; hence the tortured wordplay.
Best Regards,
Not to attempt to torture or wordplay, there are no collective rights no right of a citizen is dependent on another citizen.
