And, NO, it has never been determined that it is Vattel's definition - just as NBC being defined as jus soli alone has never been determined ...

GREAT! Thank you... This cuts to the chase of the entire (and similar) thread. We don't have a definition of Natural Born Citizen, so arguments about who is and who isn't is simply debating angels on the head of a pin.

Actually, it MIGHT get to court WITH standing ...

There are several eligibility laws being considered [in 5 states, I believe]. Some will require ALL the documents for a candidate to be eligible. Since NBC is a requirement [and it has never been defined], Obama [who CERTAINLY has standing] would have to go to court for a ruling - if the state SOS found that he could not certify him NBC [again, since NBC has not been defined, a state SOS COULD NOT declare him so].

It would have to go to SCOTUS ...
