"The case of the children of American parents born abroad ought to be provided for"
The foreign-born children of citizens have always required naturalization
|
However the actual bill that was passed in Congress and that President Washington signed into law stated that: “”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”.
“The original United States Naturalization Law of March 26, 1790 (1 Stat. 103) provided the first rules to be followed by the United States in the granting of national citizenship. This law limited naturalization to immigrants who were free white persons of good character. It thus excluded American Indians, indentured servants, slaves, free blacks, and Asians. It also provided for citizenship for the children of U.S. citizens born abroad, but specified that the right of citizenship did “not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States.” It specifies that such children “shall be considered as natural born citizens,” the only US statute ever to use the term.”—Wikipedia
February 4, 1790, while discussing a bill to establish a uniform rule of naturalization U.S. Rep Aedanus Burke (South Carolina) said: “The case of the children of American parents born abroad ought to be provided for, as was done in the case of English parents, in the 12th year of William III”
Burke, presumably, is referring to “An Act for the further Limitation of the Crown and better securing the Rights and Liberties of the Subject”
Stat. Realm Vol. 7, page 636 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/statutes-realm/vol7/pp636-638
[] no Person born out of the Kingdoms of England Scotland or Ireland or the Dominions thereunto belonging (although he be naturalized or made a Denizen (except such as are born of English Parents) shall be capable to be of the Privy Councill or a Member of either House of Parliament or to enjoy any Office or Place of Trust either Civill or Military or to have any Grant of Lands Tenements or Hereditaments from the Crown to himself or to any other or others in Trust for him
Here the English law itself acknowledges that the foreign-born child of English parents is naturalized.
