“By the definition you use, the birth certificate shows the citizenship each parent held at birth.”

By Vattel & Switzerland’s definition, it does not. So which is it - does birth LOCATION make one a citizen in the USA, or does one need to show the citizenship of your parents?

“Switzerland doesn’t have any naturalization process?”

Yes, as do we - but that has nothing to do with citizenship by birth, does it...

I have no intention to debate with you. We're both entrenched, we disagree, and it's a waste of my time. I was just pointing out that there is some genealogical data on a birth certificate.

As for the Swiss and naturalization, I was picking on your remark that the only way to obtain Swiss citizenship was by birth. I'm pretty sure you didn't mean it, literally. Was just poking fun, and thought you might notice what you typed, and smile back.

“He has a fortress of solitude unpenetrated by any point of fact.”

To the point of absurdity.
