Yes, dimwit, we all KNOW there were translations prior to 1797. None of those translations used NBC. Since it was not translated thus until 10 years AFTER the Constitution was written, and since there is no indication his ideas on citizenship had any impact on US law, Vattel could not have been the source of the phrase NBC.

I've taken the trouble to locate the example for you in the Congressional record of 1781.
Now what were you saying about nobody translated it that way until ten years after the Constitution was written?
Note also, this was the translation read by the ENTIRE CONGRESS in 1781. No doubt they became familiar with the term being translated in this manner. :)
