“The former term, he reminds us, is expressly reserved for those born on American soil to U.S. citizen parents...”
HOGWASH! That definition came from Vattel, but Vattel did NOT address “Natural Born Citizens” but instead used “indigenes” - indigenous people.
It wasn’t until AFTER the US Constitution was written that an American translation decided to translate “indigene” - an English word as well as French - with “NBC”. So that definition was NOT what the Founders had in mind!

Not only are you incorrect, you’re WRONG!
