What’s your take in terms of the significance of this passage in French in the original 1758 volume?
This Guy sees that Vattel has singled out the source of citizenship for some 70 percent of current U.S. citizens.
These are the Plain Vanilla U.S. American citizens from whom we should be selecting to determine who occupies the office of POTUS. To posit otherwise is to fall prey to the exotic attraction of foreign spices. (Yes—most real vanilla spice iruginates in Mexico!)

Vattel was dead (d. 1767) before there was a Declaration of Independence or a United States.
Vattel wrote a book about The Law of Nations. That is nothing but the archaic term for International Law. United States citizenship determinations are not made in the Hague, and are not made pursuant to international law. International law does not apply to purely domestic determinations of any state in the world.
