how did they get around the naturalization act of 1790 which stated "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."?

As I said, it is somewhat of a gray area. I thought that the majority of scholars believed that it meant that you had to be born here. However, I could be totally wrong about that. The mainstream media doesn't talk much about the subject. I get some of my info on the subject from WND and granted you need to take things that you read there with somewhat of a grain of salt. At least I know that I need to take it with a grain of salt. Some of the lefties here think that anything they read at the Daily Kos is gospel.
