There are only 2 types of citizenship in the U.S., birthright and naturalized. There are no legal documents, no official papers, no authorities at any level that agree in a separate and 3rd form of citizenship. Birthright citizenship is NBC. There is no argument because there is no legal authority that agrees with you and you can quote Vattel until you turn purple but you will continue to be ridiculed mercilessly.

No one is suggesting that there is a third "type" of citizenship. Take that one off of your argument list.

Birthright citizenship is NBC.

That is a non sequitur. Your conclusion does not follow from your previous assertion. Birthright citizenship flowing from nature makes a "natural" citizen, but birthright citizenship flowing from a man made statute does not. The statutory form of citizenship is imminently malleable by the whim of congress, and there is nothing "natural" about it.

There is no argument because there is no legal authority that agrees with you

Which has nothing to do with anything. "Authorities" have been wrong so many times, the wonder is that they ever get anything right. Again, I point to Abortion and "gay" Marriage as examples of "Authorities" being wrong.

and you can quote Vattel until you turn purple but you will continue to be ridiculed mercilessly.

What does being correct have to do with people agreeing with me or not? "People" thought Obama was a good idea.

"People" are often stupid and often wrong, so I don't really pay a lot of attention to what ignorant "people" think about anything.

Is this the best you can do for an argument? You haven't advanced anything intellectually relevant, and i'm beginning to think you can't.
