The point is that “natural born” (the English term) did not come from Vattel. The term “natural born” in fact was taken from English common law, as the post and the link clearly state.
That the term “natural born” was used at all indicates that they were using a term known to them from English common law. Were they to have used Vattel as their intended meaning and been intelligent fellows, the LAST thing they would do is use a term that was so obviously taken from English common law.
That you all cannot see this is a choice you have made to be intellectually dishonest. Either that or you’re just stupid.
The insults do not become you.
You pedantically flourished a French phrase claiming that the late 19th translation was somehow flawed. The French terms translate quite well as “natural born.”
That there’s a tradition of “natural born” in English Common Law and all the rest of your hoity toity verbiage may well be true. I don’t particularly care. I have not read your verbose treatises.
I just pointed out that the French you tossed around can quite legitimately be translated as “natural born.”
Take your pseudo-learning and shove it.
