None of your cites existed at the time the constitution was drafted and enacted.

If you read the cites, you would know they discuss in detail what was true BEFORE the Constitution, and using that to determine the original intent of the Founders.

NBC didn’t spring into being without any previous history. The states that ratified it had an idea what it meant - so did that come from a translation of Vattel made 10 years later? Even tho Vattel NEVER used the French form of the term? Or from the well known British term, natural born subject?

And remember, the French phrase ‘sujets naturel” was translated natural born subjects in British documents, and natural born citizen in American ones - which would support the idea that NBC = NBS.
