Why would they do that?

Technically your line of questioning is entirely irrelevant, since natural born status, in their view, can't pass maternally. The 1790 act was repealed by one written by Madison, and the language of "natural born" was targeted and explicitly removed thereafter.

It's an example of one parent.

Of course the 1795 Act replaced the 1790 Act. But it still gives us an indication what the Founders thought the definition of NBC was.
