Sorry sir, you are incorrect. It was replaced with another act of Congress. The Naturalization Act of 1790 was replaced by the Naturalization Act of 1795 which was replaced by the Naturalization Act of 1798. So on and so forth.

That is how Congress expresses its will and exercises it enumerated power (Article I Section 8) to define the rules of naturalization - by passing acts that either replace or amend existing law.

I think we are saying the same thing:

The 1790 Act was replaced by the 1795 Act which was itself replaced in 1798, again in 1802 but never again was the “natural born citizen” language from the 1795 Act repeated in any subsequent Act.

That language only lasted the 5 years of the 1790 Act coinciding with the “time of the adoption of the Constitution” per Article II.
