That law was changed afterwords. Also it says:Chap. Ⅲ.An Act to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization.[1]March 26, 1790.
Section 1. 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, Alien whites may become citizens, and how. 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 persons so naturalized, dwelling within the United States, being under the age of twenty-one years at the time of such naturalization,Their children residing here, deemed citizens. 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, Also, children of citizens born beyond sea, &c. 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:Exceptions. Provided also, That no person heretofore proscribed by any state, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid, except by an act of the legislature of the state in which such person was proscribed.[2]
Approved, March 26, 1790.
this is what our founding fathers said on the topic...
and it appears that even if obama was born elsewhere, outside of hawaii, WHICH HE WASN'T, that he was considered a natural born citizen...because his mother was a citizen and because his father was residing in the USA...in fact his father continued to live in the USA for at least 5 additional years after his birth.
All of that is moot though, since he was born in Hawaii...
That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States
Obama's father was never a permanent resident of the US nor did he intend to become naturalized. The Father of the 14th Amendment, John Bingham words stand. You have to be born to TWO citizen parents in order to be a Natural Born Citizen. The evidence is mounting on a daily basis that the current Commander In Chief is not eligible to hold the office of President.
All from other lands, who by the terms of [congressional] laws and a compliance with their provisions become naturalized, are adopted citizens of the United States; all other persons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural born citizens. Gentleman can find no exception to this statement touching natural-born citizens except what is said in the Constitution relating to Indians. (Cong. Globe, 37th, 2nd Sess., 1639 (1862))
Then in 1866, Bingham also stated on the House floor:
Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen. (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))
Obamas father, a non U.S. Citizen held Allegiance to the British Crown in Kenya
