Excellent Godebert. Sorry if I duplicated some of your citations. I was apparently writing while you were. You know we each could have cited a dozen separate cases.

It may take some time, but as long as we still have a Constitution, and as long as some still believe it should be our foundation, we will expose the truth along with exposing those who found it convenient to temporarily ignore it, including John McCain. We know that many of the presumably conservative pundits are realizing that "alien parents disqualify a candidate." The sound bite helps. The historical and legal record is too complex to explain.

I know that Mario Apuzzo believes that McCain could be deemed "reputed" natural born because Vattel suggested the exception. Mario may be correct, but none of the early Naturalization Acts, 1790, 1795, 1802, 1808, 1814, 1816,... addressed the Vattel proposal to make foreign born children of military citizens natural born, as SB 2678, by Obama/McCaskill, proposed in February of 2008. Certainly they knew the truth, but the Democrat Senate refused to pass it, perhaps because there wasn't time for an amendment to address the coming election. So the rationale for Republican participation to cover McCain's ineligility remains the plausible scenario. Until there is a Minor v. Happersett addressing children of military citizens - and I think there should be - McCain was not eligible either.

Many of Vattel's proposals were not integrated into our Constitution, such as a restriction upon emigration of a citizen with skills essential to our economy or defense, though Vattel was clearly the most important reference to our framers, judging by the number of legal citations, and by Jefferson's selection of "Law of Nations" as our first legal text at our first law school, created n 1779 by Jefferson at William and Mary. Clearly, before Obama became a candidate, Democrats were vocal about McCain's ineligibility.

In any case, don't give up. We have taken the time to read that many others simply may not have had. Now it is time to teach others with the clarity of the truth.
