"And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens..."

Ooops....you forgot one little detail:

United States Congress, “An act to establish an uniform rule of Naturalization; and to repeal the act heretofore passed on that subject” (January 29, 1795).

Nice try. No cigar.

George Washington signed it; President Washington presided over the constitutional convention that wrote our constitution that was ratified in 1787, just 3 years before this law was passed.

So, the usage of "natural born citizen" extended to those born to US citizens overseas according to those who wrote the Constitution.

There really isn't any argument after this.

Oh, but I'm afraid there is, and it happened just five years after George Washington put his signature to that document:

"... 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...

Notice the wording change from 'Natural Born Citizens'?

United States Congress, “An act to establish an uniform rule of Naturalization; and to repeal the act heretofore passed on that subject” (January 29, 1795)
