“born on the soil of citizen parents.”

They never said that either. They said "natural born citizen" a term they likely got from Vattel. I was just relating what Vattel said it meant, and with the appropriate exemptions. The diplomatic exemption is recognized, even in the interpretation of the 14th amendment, but for diplomats of *other* countries having children in the US.

I think you meant your reply to someone else?

I was just making a comment about the destruction of the Constitution. I stay out of the detailed legal stuff, due to being a numbskull!
