Did Vattel write 217 for no reason then? What was the purpose and meaning of 217 if not to recognize the natural law concept that a soldier or diplomat serving his nation overseas did not “quit” his nation and thus his children are to be considered under natural law as being born in country?
Does that concept of natural law not exist outside of time and space and above all law immortal and immutable in the same way as you think Vattel 215 does?
How do you ignore the natural law concept that a person serving their nation overseas has not “quit” his nation?
The same way you ignore English law and their concept of “natural born” - the same way you ignore American law - the same way you ignore everything and anything that contradicts your reading of Vattel 215 - even the passage two down from it - Vattel 217.
So WHERE and WHEN and by WHO is “natural born” defined such that McCain would not be eligible?
Did Vattel write 217 for no reason then?
Did Vattel write 215 for no reason then? And why did he write it, and place it, before 217?
Does that concept of natural law not exist outside of time and space and above all law immortal and immutable in the same way as you think Vattel 215 does?
Which concept are you speaking about?
How do you ignore the natural law concept that a person serving their nation overseas has not “quit” his nation?
Where have I done so?
So WHERE and WHEN and by WHO is “natural born” defined such that McCain would not be eligible?
It's already before you and you've refused see it.
Asking your question over and over again isn't going to cure you of your self imposed blindness.
