Actually according to the naturalization law of 1790, the children born overseas to a U.S. citizen father were deemed to be “natural born citizens”. So long as that was not conferred upon citizens who had not themselves ever resided in the USA.

ONE parent.

The intent of the law was to show that they didn't need naturalization - they were natural born.

Once again - binary. Natural born or naturalized.

The naturalization law of 1790 was an act of congress, and thus incapable of redefining constitutional requirements.

You should have learned that (that congress cannot change the constitution) in the eigth grade.
