If you care to look at the history of U.S. jurisprudence then I suggest that for every reference to Vattel you will find dozens, if not hundreds of references to William Blackstone. Blackstone addresses the issue of natural born citizenship in Book 1, Chapter 10 of his "Commentaries On the Laws of England, titled "Of the People, Whether Aliens, Denizens, or Natives":

"The children of aliens, born here in England, are, generally speaking, natural-born subjects, and entitled to all the privliges of such. In which the constitution of France differs from ours; for there, by their jus albinatus, if a child be born of foreign parents, it is an alien."

Blackstone’s work wasn’t used to base the Constitution on. That is pertinent because the Law of Nations provides the definition for the references in the constitution.

[MHGinTN]

"However, the Constitution can only be changed by the nation as a whole, and not by the temporary passions of the majority or by the legislature. Both to protect the Constitution, but also to ensure just enforcement of the law, the independence of the judiciary from the legislature and the executive branch is essential. The judiciary must be the guardians of the Constitution, to ensure that all legislative decisions are coherent with it."

Cal, I was literally brought to tears reading the material! How far our Constitutional has slipped fromt he intended. How poorly the citizens comprehend their rights, responsibilities, and sovereignty. The democrat party is the perfect usurper to destroy the Constitutional Republic. And their societal engineering has accomplished through the dumbed down electorate force fed pap in public 'education' precisely what is needed in an absent sovereignty of the citizens, stupidity and complacency to be exploited by the criminal enterprise democrat party. Barack Obama, or whatever his name is legally, is the idea fraud to finalize the destruction. God have mercy upon us, it is time for revolution once again.

You must be joking.

Blackstone's work was a huge influence on the Constitution, as was Locke's. And it extended back even before the Constitution, despite Blackstone's monarchist views.

And if Dr. Taitz doesn't think that Jefferson was relying on Locke's Second Treatise when he wrote in the Declaration of Independence of the endowment of rights by our Creator, and the importance of "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness," then some more research is in order.
