Ahhh, so you seem to think that you know what the founders MEANT to say and favor that over what they actually did. Well when in comes to interpreting the founders, I’ll take what they actually passed into law as a very clear demonstration of their intent.
And quickly repealed once they saw their mistake.
You are right, read 1795. Citizens (plural) kids born outside are citizens. Lots of plurals in there for only having ine American citizen parent.
Good, me too. That is why the prompt repealing of the 1790 Naturalization Act is so important.
