Look at the difference between the two. The 1795 law (which would take precedence, replacing the earlier one) makes it clear that the child of US citizen parents born outside the US is a citizen but not a natural born citizen.

Since it omitted the phrase, it didn’t redefine it.

I have never for one second believed that a person could be born in a foreign country and still run for president. Born a citizen is not the same as natural born citizen. IF IT WAS THERE IS NO REASON FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL CLAUSE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Alas, it’s there.. isn’t it?

Natural born = citizen by birth and not requiring naturalization process.

But the 1795 Act was repealed.
