“Most were not.”
They all were, and you saying they were not does not change reality. The college professor who taught me that, who was from New Jersey, and we were in Louisiana, was of the Korean War generation and he did not just pull it out of his ass.
“Vattel was considered an outstanding source of info on international law and the bad American translation of 1797 was the only version most American lawyers would have had access to.”
What is your point with that, may I ask? It matters not what Vattel wrote, since he did not write the Constitution. And if American lawyers misunderstood it and wrote the misunderstanding into the Constitution, so be it. But there was no mistranslation. John Jay wrote Washington a letter and asked him that “none but a natural born citizen” be placed in charge of the military. Why would he stipulate natural born over just citizen if they were the same? Why would the writers of the Constitution stipulate natural born citizen rather than citizen if they were the same?
People like you still ignore the definition of what a natural born citizen is that is directly defined in the Naturalization Act of 1790.
You absolutely refuse to. You ingore and think that the rest of us will ignore it.
“Why would he stipulate natural born over just citizen if they were the same?”
Because they are not all the same. There are citizens born and citizens made. A naturalized citizen cannot be President.
