Only the English translation of Vattel’s “law of Nations” uses that exact phrase word for word.
Vattel’s definition of NBC excludes dual citizens like Obama.
Obama has aditted to being a dual citizen at birth.
Whatever the politics of the issue, the constitution as originally written makes Obama ineligible.
“Only the English translation of Vattel’s “law of Nations” uses that exact phrase word for word.”
There is no sign, based off of correspondence and writings about the Constitution by the framers, that they had “Vattel’s law of Nations” in mind. In essence, it meant someone whose natural allegiance was to the USA, not a foreign country. And a man born in the USA whose foreigner father abandoned him would not owe natural allegiance to the country of the father who abandoned him, who only saw him once after about 2-3 years of age, and who had zero influence on his upbringing.
If a court DID address the question, they would probably follow those lines of thought - where would Obama’s natural allegiance be? And if Obama hadn’t turned into a racist, his natural allegiance would be to the USA, and he would claim to be either white or mixed, rather than pretend he is a ‘black man’.
However, since he was allowed on the ballot in all 50 states, and ran with the question in the open, and was elected by a comfortable margin, I don’t think any court would consider overturning the election over a concern that Obama was Kenyan, or a ‘dual citizen’.
Further, we have already had a President whose father was not a citizen at his birth. More precedence in Obama’s favor.
Obama is a Marxist racist thoroughly at home with Rev Wright, but he was elected President of the USA with everyone hearing the tapes, and knowing full well what kind of Marxist bastard he is. He didn’t have to hide it - people CHOSE to ignore it!

My sister, who I assure you knew ALL about it, voted for him claiming he was a centrist who would unite the country. She regrets her vote, but she cannot claim she didn’t have the facts before her. She just refused to believe ‘her lying eyes’!
