Chief Justice Marshall doesn't have to define natural born citizenship since de Vattel has done that for him. It's there in Venus, and you spouting it is only as a 'philosophical viewpoint' is hogwash - a lame attempt to explain it away.
a citizen was 25 years after the Constitution was signed.
A non sequitur and irrelevant.
And he agrees that citizens born of citizens are...citizens.
Marshall apparently agreed with de Vattel on his definition of who constitutes a citizen besides naturalization or denizens. His opinion in Venus is littered with de Vattel cites.
Fascinating. They define ‘natural born citizen’ without ever referring to it...
Maybe you could join LVR in applying for a job reading minds.
