And as I have pointed out to you, that is NOT what Vattel wrote. The phrase ‘les sujets naturels’ does not appear in Vattel.
That PHRASE, however, is translated “natural born subject” for the English, or NBC for Americans - showing that NBC = NBS. And since we all know that NBS includes those born to alien parents, and NBS = NBC...
Chief Justice Fuller:
.
Book I, c.19, § 212.
“The true bond which connects the child with the body politic is not the matter of an inanimate piece of land, but the moral relations of his parentage. . . .
The place of birth produces no change in the rule that children follow the condition of their fathers, for it is not naturally the place of birth that gives rights, but extraction.”
Before the Revolution, the view of the publicists had been thus put by Vattel:
The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country of parents who are citizens.
As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers,”
