Which laws, and when were they enacted? The Constitution says nothing
about it.

I would have thought that "citizen" is pretty well defined in the
Constitution.
Article XIV.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States
and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce
any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens
of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

We will be there in early March for a concert by some friends - out of
curiosity what is the restaurant? Since our time there is short, I can
not guarantee we will get there, but we do try to get to recommended
restaurants.

The Veronelli Guide lists several places in or near Milano. Although we
have not been to Milano, the few places in that guide that we have tried
on our trips to Italy seemed good to us. Perhaps Antica Osteria del
Ponte?

Yes, sadly I do know that. The bars and restaurants here are expensive
and lousy!

How could that question help anyone's understanding of anything (particularly
anything related to this discussion)?

Yes. They needed to the maintain the stability of the US and
wanted to make sure that someone wouldn't come in to
sabotage the government. It was a good law to have at the time.

The clause about a person who was alive at the time of the adoption
of the Constitution was necessary because, when the US was founded,
nobody was born with US citizenship.

It doesn't say native born, it says natural born. It's just that
"natural born" is not
defined in the US Constitution. The debate would be whether
a person born outside the US, who received citizenship through US
citizen parents, is a "natural born" citizen, or not.
Nationality laws defined by the first US Congress stated that a child
born
outside the US to US citizens would be US citizens and would be
considered
to be "natural born" citizens as long as the father had resided in the
US at any
time. This give good evidence that the framers of the Constitution
held the
opinion that a "natural born" citizen is one who received his
citizenship other
than by naturalization.

How are you discerning that the first US Congress existed before the
adoption of the Constitution?
The first US Congress would have been the first Congress elected
after the adoption of the Constitution. Just as the Congress that
will begin sitting this month is the 109th US Congress.

"Citizen" is defined, but "natural born citizen" is only referred to
once in the Constitution (in the presidential requirements).
That's where the debate arises over whether a US citizen by
descent is "natural born" or not.
Ultimately, the only way it would be officially determined is if
the Supreme Court made a ruling. They can't do that unless
a person's eligibility is challenged and the case made its way up the
judicial system.

Where does it say anything about children born to parents who are
citizens?
