Meese is extrapolating a definition for a term that did not exist under English common law. The Founders would take issue with defining a natural born citizen as a subject, and I’m surprised you don’t take issue with it, yourself.

Do you have any evidence to back up that assertion? It seems clear that the former United States Attorney General Edwin Meese is stating the meaning given to the term by the Founding Fathers.

Where does the term "subject" appear in my post?
