Bears repeating:

“Additionally, the first Congress of the United States passed the Naturalization Act of 1790, just three years after the Constitution was written, which stated that children born abroad to U.S. citizens were, too, natural born citizens. Many members of the inaugural Congress were also authors of the Constitution.”

This precedes your court case by some 100 years and certainly illustrates with clarity the mindset of the framers concerning this very issue..

:: stated that children born abroad to U.S. citizens were, too, natural born citizens ::

By your own post:

"born abroad to U.S. citizenS.."
Note the use of the plural in establishing jus sanguine

Allow me to again assist your reading comprehension.

Please pay close attention:

The Naturalization Act of 1790, titled "An Act to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization" was repealed in 1795.

The Naturalization Act in force at the time of birth controls.

And those same framers repealed the Naturalization Act of 1790, and passed a new act - Naturalization Act of 1795, which removed the text that had declared children born abroad were 'natural born Citizens'. Below is a link to the law.

SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, that the children of persons duly naturalized, dwelling within the United States, and being under the age of twenty-one years, at the time of such naturalization, and the children of citizens of the United States, born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, shall be considered as citizens of the United States: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons, whose fathers have never been resident of the United States: Provided also, That no person heretofore proscribed by any state, or who has been legally convicted of having joined the army of Great Britain during the late war, shall be admitted a citizen as foresaid, without the consent of the legislature of the state, in which such person was proscribed.

Notice it clearly states that such children, born to Citizens abroad, are 'citizens', and NOT 'natural born citizens'. Why? Did they want to make sure that no such children would end up being President? I don't think so. The reason, that I think, they removed the 'natural born citizen' text, is because they realized that they didn't have the authority leave it in. Being 'natural born' is an element of natural law, and no man is capable of changing the laws of nature. So they revised the text, to what they were capable of, and declared that children, born out of the jurisdiction of the US, to Citizens, would be 'naturalized', and not 'natural born', Citizens.
