"The First Congress legally defined what a Natural Born Citizen wa, Now you can either admit that a Natural Born Citizen is a child born to US citizen Parents or prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Founders had a different Legal definition then the one they used."
They did no such thing.
They briefly extended the definition of natural born citizen (which was already established by three centuries of English and American common law) to children of citizens born overseas.
We know this to be true because that "definition" does not include children born on American soil at all. And that would be, well, stupid. The Framers were not stupid.

They made it the law of the land and defined it as such.
That is what Congress does.
According to them, our Founding Fathers, in the First Congress, a Natural Born Citizen is one born to Citizen parents.
Twist it anyone you want, they made it the law of the land and legally defined what a Natural Born Citizen is!!!!!
And OBAMA does not meet their definition of Natural Born Citizen.

You see I don’t have to define what Vattel meant in his writings, I don’t have to prove what the Founding Fathers thought of Vattel’s writings either, I don’t even have to show what their Opinions were on this issue.
They wrote their definition into the law of the land to be the standard by which all citizens are judged according to the law.
