The Constitution was not written in light of today's laws. It is erroneous to apply subsequent law to Constitutional intent. No subsequent law can alter constitutional meaning.

It is a divide by zero error.

Todays Congress created immigration and naturalization laws on who may be a “citizen” don’t apply to the 1790 Act you cited.

"Under today”s laws, one American citizen parent who meets the residency requirement is enough"

That's simply a lie.

Congress has tried to change the "natural born Citizen" requirement, many times in recent years, to include those "citizens" born in foreign countries to be eligible. Their efforts have failed.

One example:

Constitutional amendment to allow foreign-born citizens to be president : hearing before the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, One Hundred Sixth Congress, second session on H.J.Res. 88.
Published: Washington, D.C. : U.S. G.P.O. : 2000.

This show that Congress knows full well that "citizens" who are born in a foreign country are not "natural born Citizens," else there would be zero need for their efforts such as this.
