Obama's supporters state there is no record the Founders used Vattel.

The second page shows the addition natural born citizen in 1787, the third page references Vattel.

I don’t understand how vattel applies specifically to the definition of “natural born citizen”

The term ‘Natural Born Citizen’ was first defined in “Law of Nations”:

it doesn’t. Vattel has no legal force.

The only thing that matters is what laws defined a natural born citizen in 1961.

Just imagine what there would be a cause to undo if they found against Obama. Maybe they are afraid of what is involved.

It really seems completely daunting to them.

SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1798.

Ordered, That it be referred to Messrs. Livermore, Stockton, and Bingham, to consider and report thereon to the Senate.

A motion was made, by Mr. Goodhue, as followeth:

“Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, two-thirds of both Houses concurring, That the following article be proposed to the legislatures of the several states as an amendment to the constitution of the United States, and, when ratified by three-fourths of the said legislatures, to be valid, to all intents and purposes, as part of the said constitution, viz:

“That (in addition to the other qualifications prescribed by the said constitution,) no person shall be eligible as President or Vice President of the United States, nor shall any person be a Senator or Representative in the Congress of the United States, except a natural born citizen, or unless he shall have been a resident in the United States at the time of the declaration of independence, and shall have continued either to reside within the same or to be employed in its service from that period to the time of his election.”

Ordered, That this motion lie for consideration.

This is my version of original intent also, but the libs always come back with “The 14th Amendment fixed that”. The 14th is for regular citizenship, IMHO, but the Constitution adds the burden of “Natural Born” to the prez and Vice prez. That is still there IMO for the President. The 14th fails to address the special requirement for prez.

I'm no lawyer, but I play one on FR and Obama still needs 2 citizen parents and has admitted to only one.

-- This whole issue is getting more and more "mainstream" and not in the kooky fringe arena anymore. --

While it is all well and good to belittle the birth-certificate controversy, without it we'd know only what the media and Obama himself would tell us about his multiple citizenships, which is nothing. As noted above, we now know Obama, by operation of British and Kenyan law, was a citizen of Kenya (a status that lapsed in 1982, when he turned 21). That's something voters would find relevant, especially when Obama’s shocking 2006 conduct in Kenya is considered. But we don’t know about his Kenyan citizenship because the media thought it was newsworthy. [but because of the birthers]

Suborned in the U.S.A. - Andrew C. McCarthy on National Review Online
July 30, 2009

McCarthy later admitted a correction/clarification from Kenyen citizenship, to British ...

As I understand it, Obama's "Kenyan" citizenship (which really is the Brit-lite citizenship you are talking about) is a result of Britain's Nationality Act of 1948. Technically speaking, Barack Obama Sr. was a British overseas subject resident of what was then the Kenyan protectorate, which status passed automatically (by operation of Kenyan law) into Kenyan citizenship when Kenya became independent in late 1963.

Notice that “children naturally follow the condition of their fathers” in there, too.

The second section, (see the 4th of September, page 507;) requiring that the President should be a natural-born citizen, &c., and have been resident for fourteen years, and be thirty-five years of age was agreed to, nem. con.

Mr. GERRY. The idea of responsibility in the nomination to offices is chimerical. The President cannot know all characters, and can therefore always plead ignorance.
