James Madison was still alive in 1814. If SCOTUS had gotten it wrong, Madison would have spoken up as would any of the others.
Democrats NEVER think that it is to late to impeach someone that might impede their agenda. If his ruling ever serves to stymie these ineligible’s ambitions they would probably give him the Oliver Cromwell treatment, exhume him, decapitate the corpse, and put his head on a pike.
I think that he thought it was a well known definitional reference that nearly every one in leadership was at least noddingly familiar with. The founders and framers were well acquainted with Vatel. An overdue New York public library book by over 230 years was once possesed by President Washington.
It was Vatel’s Law of Nations!!!!!
Jennie Spencer-Churchill, known as Lady Randolph Churchill, was a natural born US citizen, and a British socialite, the wife of Lord Randolph Churchill and the mother of British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill.
Under US citizenship law at the time of Churchill’s birth, despite the fact that his mother was a NATURAL BORN US citizen, she could not transmit her US citizenship on to young Winston owing to her marriage to a foreign national, Sir Randolph Spencer Churchill, who was Winston’s father. That would not be legally allowed until the passage of the Cable Act of 1922, well after Churchill’s birth in 1874. The Cable Act only confers citizenship, NOT NATURALLY BORN citizenship. It did not refer to, or alter the meaning of an Article II, Sec. 1, clause 5 “natural born citizen” in any way.
Churchill was granted HONORARY US citizenship by an act of Congress on 9 April 1963. It was understood that his birth to a an NBC citizen US mother in Great Britain did not make him a citizen by law.

Chief Justice Waite:
The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens.

I have been asking this since day one... prob driving my son nuts asking this every time I hear her speak - which is preciously rare for me. Good to see others raise the issue.
Now is the time for Zero to step forward and admit he was not a citizen, softening the electorate for Clamydia Harris.
They're here.
The parentage requirement is to prevent rule by child proxy.
Or in more modern Jerry Springer terms, Adolph and Eva's kid aint eligible just cause he dropped over here.
Definitely NOT eligible.
You’re right of course. The Constitutional qualifications were ignored for obama and will be ignored for Harris if that nasty b!tch gets that far. It seems clear to me that “mulatto privilege” has displaced the Constitution as regards qualification for highest elective office in America (oh, and as to the qualifications for commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States ... scary stuff indeed when you stop to think about it).
LOL, that's not how the process works.
Sadly so
