I does not reflect well at all, the words “Natural Born” were striped from the 1790 law before it ever became law.

A law that was a law before it was law! Birfer reasoning never ceases to astonish!

The significance of the 1790 law is that it demonstrates what the common understanding of the term NBC was at the time. Namely, that being a citizen due to being born abroad to Americans is to be natural born.
