Take a close read of the members of the 1st United States Congress, 21-26 Senators and 59-65 Representatives and you'll find that they are the ones who wrote the Constitution, and well as the The Naturalization Act of 1790
.Its well defined in The Naturalization Act of 1790.
Let's read it , too !

United States Congress, "An act to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization" (March 26, 1790).

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled,
That any Alien being a free white person,
who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years,
may be admitted to become a citizen thereof on application to any common law Court of record in any one of the States
wherein he shall have resided for the term of one year at least,
and making proof to the satisfaction of such Court  that
he is a person of good character,
and taking the oath or affirmation prescribed by law
to support the Constitution of the United States,
which Oath or Affirmation such Court shall administer,
and the Clerk of such Court shall record such Application, and the proceedings thereon;
and thereupon such person shall be considered as a Citizen of the United States. 


And the children of such person so naturalized,
dwelling within the United States,
being under the age of twenty one years at the time of such naturalization,
shall also be considered as citizens of the United States. 

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: 
Provided, that
the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: 
Provided also, that
no person heretofore proscribed by any States, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid,
except by an Act of the Legislature of the State in which such person was proscribed.

You keep posting about that 1790 Act as though it still exist. It was REPEALED by the Act of 1795 and there was a change made to the end result of being born outside the limits or jurisdiction of the United States to a citizen parent or parents. Please address what this change means as to what these folks thought about natural born citizenship. Did they redefine, or perhaps, correct it with the repeal? The term still exist in the Constitution. It must have meaning.

If the 1790 Act never existed and the 1795 Act using the term "citizen" was all we had to go on, how would that suffice as definition of "natural born citizen"?
