Starting with a statement that you did not read the relevant material is honest, it may not be the best position to start from. If you read the 179 law it does not state any thing on the subject of NBC it does state that those born to us citizen abroad is a us citizen at birth, now feel free to find wherever you may a statute that defines 3 types of citizen
Sigh I am talking about the some Act you posted that has nothing to do with this.
Of course I have read the Act from 1790. Good lord, get it through your head. Madison repealed that Act.
