Article II states POTUSA shall be a ‘natural born citizen’. this isfact not interprtation. Article I Section 8 embeds the Law of Nations into the Constitution and intentionally so at the Founding Convention. This is fact not interpretation. The Law of Nations is specific that a natural born citizen is one ‘ born in the country of parentS who are it’s citizenS’. This is fact not interpretation. These facts are part of the many issues involved about BHO.

The “Law of Nations” referenced in the Constitution refers to international law, not a treatise by de Vattel. Yes, I know it’s capitalized, but so are many other terms that don’t refer to proper nouns, titles or names. It was the writing style of that era.
