The notion that Vattel had no influence on the Declaration
of Independence and the Constitution is absurd.

The founding fathers practically used the Law of Nations for a reference manual. The also is a mountain of documents where Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, James Wilson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay, and John Marshall quoted Vattel extensively.

Okay, you've convinced me! /wiggiemiester, lol

Seriously, if we could only get an attorney or two to get this in court and present it the way it was here, we could at least get rid of this clown.

I really, really, really don't understand how this is being allowed to happen in this country, it's downright scary, I mean who or what has taken over?

Just damn!

Wonderful!!

Now do for us what Red Steel, and Danae, and usmcobra, and syc and every other Birther on this thread has been unable to do:

Find us a single instance in that "mountain of documents" where a single one of those Founders or Framers quoted de Vattel on the issue of natural born citizenship.

Come on. Just one.
