This is a discussion of Vattel’s law of nations. Geo. Washington borrowed the book from The Society Library in NY in 1879 and did not return it.

A very important provision in that essay is the interpretation of a natural born citizen:

THE LAW OF NATIONS

212. Citizens and Nations

“The citizens are the members of the civil society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of citizens, THOSE CHILDREN NATURALLY FOLLOW THE CONDITIONS OF THEIR FATHERS, and served to all of their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, IN CONSEQUENCE OF WHAT IT OWES TO ITS OWN PRESERVATION; and it is presumed as matter, that each citizen, on entering into society; reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. THE COUNTRY OF THE FATHER IS THEREFORE THAT OF THE CHILDREN; and these become true citizens merely by tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming of the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe society in which they were born. I SAY IN THAT ORDER TO BE OF THE COUNTRY, IT IS NECESSARY THAT A PERSON BE BORN OF A FATHER WHO IS A CITIZEN, IF HE IS BORN THERE OF A FOREIGNER, IT WILL BE ONLY THE PLACE OF HIS BIRTH, AND NOT HIS COUNTRY.”

Are we or are we not a constitutional republic? It is time that we stand up and demand that our elected representatives address whether Barack Obama meets the qualifications that our founding fathers outlined in Article II Section I.”

Kammy Harris Is not a natural born citizen, she lived in Berkey for a 6-7 years, when INS was getting ready to expel her mother for overstaying her Student Visa, Her mother Moved to Canada where she stayed until she graduated. She Is NOT qualified to be VP let alone President. She IS a citizen of Jamaica Through her father and by their law of descent. Let her run for office there.

Unless Jamaica also uses election stealing, I think the citizens there are too smart to vote for Kackling Hyena.

Thanks for that quote from The Law of Nations, it contributes to my argument.

Notice that it is ONLY the Father that matters.
If we want to restrict it further that may be a good idea but we need to amend the Constitution to do it.
