The DEFINITION of natural born citizen lies in E. Vattel’s Law of Nations. The Law of Nations is specifically named in Article I, Section 8, Clause 10:
“To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations.”
Clause 11: To declare War.........
Clause 12: To raise and support Armies.........
Clause 13; To provide and maintain a Navy....................
Clause 14: To make Rules for the Government...............
Obviously the Law of Nations is cited in the Constitution so all the excuses that “Natural born citizen” is not “defined” are erroneous.
ALL the Framers of the Constitution knew and studied the Law of Nations.
British common Law dealt with “SUBJECTS of the KING.”
The new American Republic dealt with CITIZENS, NOT Subjects.
The Law of Nations reads that a ‘Natural Born Citizen” is one who can be nothing other than a Citizen of the land in which he is born, i.e. a native. He is born of BOTH parents citizens and born on the land, i.e. bearing NO allegiance to any other country.
Ted Cruz was born in Canada of “possibly” ONE American Citizen. There is even doubt that his mother was an American at the time of his birth , but it is KNOWN his father was NOT an American citizen. He is NOT qualified!
Don’t forget that Edward reliquisthed his Canadian Citizenship back in 2014..
