Except for the fact that in the very first naturalization law passed in Congress and signed by President Washington in 1790, the Founding Fathers made an exception: “The children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond the sea or out of the jurisdiction of the United States shall be considered as Natural Born Citizens.”

Your cognitive dissonance is simply incredible. You repeat the salient word yourself and still it makes no impression on your consciousness.

Un-freakin-real.

LOL! If that didn't get their attention, you'd you'd think someone so steeped in law might realize the Founders passed another Naturalization Act just 5 years later, specifically repealing the natural born citizen clause.

Gee..it's almost like it was only briefly there in order to coincide with the grandfather clause or something!

Much too ignorant a post to warrant a serious response.
