200 hundred years from now Obama’s two books, “Coloring with Garfield, Can you stay in the lines?” and “Tyranny for Dummies” will be past due. Of course the currency at the time will be cans of government approved creamed corn.
Gee, imagine our first President gaining knowledge from Vattel's Law of Nations which defines "natural born" citizen as having TWO citizen parents. It would be most interesting to know which other books our founding fathers read to form their ideas and laws for this nation.
“One of the books was the “Law of Nations,”
So do we know whether this was Vattel’s book or Christian Wolff’s? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerich_de_Vattel
Somehow I don’t picture Washington reading anything in Latin, so I’m assuming it was Vattel’s.
Too bad he didn’t issue an Executive Order making it required reading for all Supreme Court nominees, as we might have gotten a lot more clarity in SC opinions about the meaning of NBC. To me, the weight of the available evidence supports the theory that the Founders subscribed to Vattel’s notion that NBC required BOTH parents to be citizens at the infant’s birth, not simply birth within the confines of the U.S.
Perhaps his Royal Highness Hussein will grant Mr. Washington a pardon.
How soon will Bloomy go after the late charges? With interest.
Jeeesh...at a penny a day overdue, Ol’ George would have to come up with over $80,000.
Maybe his dog ate the books!
Bill his estate, I’m sure they will pay promptly!
