If Websters can be used to define the gender-neutral pronoun of “he”, Vattel's Law of Nations can most certainly and accurately be used to define “Natural Born Citizen”.

Vattel can define whatever he wants. The underlying foundation for our rule of law is the Constitution and not a 17th century Dutch lawyer. We are governed by it and by the laws created under it. And none of them happen to agree with Vattel's definition. Or your's.

Well then, Non-Seq... you need to start demanding here on FR with great vigor for Nancy Pelosi’s resignation based SOLELY upon the fact she's a WOMAN:

Art I, Sect 2, Clause 2: No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

Because, as you know, “HE” is not defined in the Constitution as a gender-neutral pronoun...

Yeah, that's how roll-our-eyes sophomoric your position on NBC sounds to 99% of the readers here on FR... LOL
