No it does not, if it does state that.. please give quotation. That a law is silent on an issue does NOT mean it says whatever the reader wants it to say instead.

There is nothing silent about it whatsoever. The text YOU quoted clearly states the person is NOT a natural born citizen. it does so in two ways. First, it is a naturalization law. You cannot naturalize, meaning to make an alien into a person with the status of being considered as a citizen, a person who is already a natural born citizen by the authority of Nature and not statutory law. Second, “shall be considered as” is a legal term of art which means an alien who is not a citizen or a natural born citizen will be ACCEPTED as if the person was an actual citizen or an actual natural born citizen despite not actually having been born so. Third, the Constitution gave Congress the power to “establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization, which is only the power to make aliens to be considered as citizens despite not being born as citizens. The Constitution did not give the Congress the power to give citizenship to natural born citizens, because that power comes from the operation of what the Constitution describes as natural law. So, the text you quoted plainly says any such person is NOT a natural born citizen.
