There is no difference between a Citizen at birth and a Natural Born Citizen.

There might have been, in the past, but times have changed.

Common Law is trumped by legislation.

The Constitutional “Natural Born Citizen” language has remained valid, of course, but the definition of that term can and has been changed by Congress.

It has always been true that a Natural Born Citizen was a Citizen from the moment of birth. That was harder to achieve under Common Law rules, but those rules no longer control the matter.

Well, of course. But, doncha know, we have learned from the NBC experts that Monsieur Vattel was a source of wisdom transcending the banalities of mere common law. Anything Vattel said on the matter of NBC's cannot be "trumped" and cannot be overruled -- not by legislation, not by the 14th Amendment, not by logic nor by standard usage of the English language.

So since Vattel tells us that Zerobama's Kenyan parentage disqualifies Dear Barry from the office of POTUS, we need inquire no further into the matter. Period. Full stop. End of story.
