"The undeniable facts are that the Founders could read French, and that the Founders used Vattel's definition as the meaning and intent for Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5, the Natural Born Citizen clause, in the US Constitution."

This is a lie. De Vattel never once ever defined "natural born citizen. The phrase never once passed through his lips or his pen.

ROFL

There it is in print son.

Just because you can’t read french doesn’t mean that others can’t.

Vattel did indeed specifically define Natural Born Citizen. The phrase didn’t just show up out of nowhere to confuse people 3 hundred years later for your convenience.
