The you haven’t read the four SCOTUS decisions that so ruled or stated.
Minor V Happersett is the key decision, since they used the two synonyms, Natural Born and Natives, exactly as De Vattel did, thus showing that it was his learned writing that was the standard of the day.
The other decisions refer back to Minor as the authority.
As usual, you are uninformed, and illogical.
I can see that your reading comprehension is as weak on my post as it is on SCOTUS decisions. But thanks for trying.
