The Constitution is clear.
The U.S. Code is clear.
The Supreme Court ruling as precendent are clear.
One thing that is consistantly ignored by those who claim Vattel as their authority is this little phrase in the Constitution:
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
Vattel is no more the supreme law of the land than is the "seperation of Church and State" that Jefferson wrote about.
You are ignoring the fact that the Constitution uses the phrase “Natural Born Citizen” ONLY for the President. It is crystal clear that “Natural Born Citizen” means something OTHER and MORE than a regular old citizen.
It’s patently obvious. Maybe you’re too smart to see it, it’s clear as a bell to most people who look into it in any depth whose minds aren’t made up beforehand.
