Well, I’m still waiting for you to quote the Founding Fathers talking about Blackhole and the Natural Born Citizenship clause in the same breath.
Until such time, the weight of evidence is still on the side of Vattel as it most certainly was Vattel’s expansion of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s work that inspired the wording in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.
Cheers
I don’t have to. I’m not the one trying to claim that the Founding Fathers could travel through time. The editions of Blackstone that the Framers accessed actually had the phrase in it. The editions of de Vattel they had access to did not.
To get past the time travel problem you have to actually find the framers doing what no professional translator would do until ten years too late. I. e. making even the most tenuous connection between de Vattel and the phrase “natural born citizen.”
I don’t have a time travel problem. In fact, I’m not even within three centuries of having one.
