The two-parent born in the USA “requirement” was never there. That is based on a bad translation of Vattel made AFTER the Constitution was ratified. Vattel used ‘indigenous’ and ‘native’, not NBC.
naturel
Not true. I've read accounts of other contemporary translations of French to English in which the exact same usage of words was employed.
So the translation is accurate.
And of course that page from that law book I posted earlier specifically says so.
“Les naturels, ou indigénes, sont ceux qui sont nés dans le pays, de parents citoyens.”
What’s your take in terms of the significance of this passage in French in the original 1758 volume?
This Guy sees that Vattel has singled out the source of citizenship for some 70 percent of current U.S. citizens.
These are the Plain Vanilla U.S. American citizens from whom we should be selecting to determine who occupies the office of POTUS. To posit otherwise is to fall prey to the exotic attraction of foreign spices. (Yes—most real vanilla spice iruginates in Mexico!)
