Judge John Bouvier, who first penned this Law Dictionary in 1822 states there is no distinction between a native born and natural born.

He defines a native or native citizen: those born in a country of parents who are citizens.

The Judge is defining a natural born citizen and a native born citizen as those born in a country of parents who are citizens.

He states on page 833...there is no distinction (difference- I looked it up) between a native born and natural born.

Both must have parents who are citizens.

Your judge is a weak reference. And Law Dictionaries don't impress me very much. (Black's is incredibly weak.) I'd refer you to a post I made some time ago of the entries from the Oxford English Dictionary but the images I posted no longer exist. (Send me an email address via FReep mail and I send you copies.) Trust me. Your reference is wrong and muddies the waters.

Is there a link on line for that 1828 version?
