The 1795 law doesn't state that a person born of two American parents is not a natural born US citizen.

It purely address nationalization.

Can you find a single federal law of any type that says that such a person is not a natural born citizen? No, because there isn't any.

And in addition to the law there is the simple fact that he is a naturally born US citizen by the simple meaning of those words. He was a US citizen at birth with no need for any form of naturalization to take place.

How do you get "born in the US" from "natural citizen"? The later doesn't derive from the former, and no requirement of constitutional or statutory law refers to the former as a requirement to be president.
