“the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States”
The Naturalization Act of 1790 clearly stated a child born abroad acquired U.S. citizenship by naturalization as a naturalized citizen.
Well that is where we disagree. The act clearly shows the the child was born a US Citizen at birth and never needed to be naturalized. As such, qualified for NBC. Naturalization ONLY occurs after birth.
