"They defined the term “natural born citizen” directly in the Naturalization Act of 1790 as one who is born from citizen parents."

That original legislation also limited it to only white people and it has since been repealed by further immigration laws within the founders lifetimes. There are some good things in that act, however it should really not be used as a basis for our modern day immigration.

I think if you took the totality of the laws passed during the founders lifetimes, we could agree that they believed that citizenship is dependent on the parent's citizenship and not on where the child is born.

Congress can change immigration laws, but Congress can’t delete the natural born citizenship requirement.

That would require amending the Constitution.

[Political Junkie Too]

A Natural Born Citizen is the Posterity of We the People for whom the Constitution was ordained and established to protect.

Neither of Harris' parents were We the People, so their Posterity is not a Natural Born Citizen.
