I have read it several times. In full I might add.

You seem to be missing the SIMPLEST of points. If there was no difference between the two... WHY MAKE THE SPECIFIC DIFFERENTIATION? Hum? If you are talking a single thing, why name it twice and state that one is not the same as the other? Your logic fails. Vattel has it correct, and it is well known (see Benjamin Franklin letters) that the founders had coppies of Vattel.... yea, thats the definition they used.

Wong Kim Ark made no distinction. But the distinction is obvious. "Citizens" includes both naturalized and natural born citizens. And naturalized citizens cannot be President.

I sometimes think Birthers have never seen a Venn Diagram.

One last time with feeling: De Vattel never defined "natural born citizen." Period.
