The 1797 Edition Law of Nations. Obama aka Soetoro, aka Soebakah is not a natural born citizen.


Yeah, but a book on international law written by a Swiss citizen has no bearing on actual American codified law. The full translated title of Vattel’s work is: “The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law Applied to the Conduct and to the Affairs of Nations and of Sovereigns.”

You can tell that is true by the fact that no American court has ruled Soetoro to be ineligible including the Supreme Court of the United States which has rejected every one of eight different Obama eligibility appeals.

You can also tell that is true by the fact that it only would have taken one senator and one representative to object in writing to the certification of Soebarkah’s Electoral College votes and both houses of Congress would have had to hold investigations into the nature of the objections. Not a single one of 535 members of Congress submitted an objection.

And finally, you can tell that the Law of Nations carries no legal weight in US law by the fact that Chief Justice John Roberts would never have agreed to administer the Oath of Office to an ineligible president-elect.

You see, what is written in any law book written by an American or written by a Swiss then needs to be codified in the law of the land or rendered as a precedent setting opinion by the Supreme Court of the United States. That has not happened with Monsieur Vattel’s point of view.

Two years after Vattel’s Law of Nations, Founding Father James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United States expressed an opinion contrary to that of Monsieur Vattel:
James Madison’s view: “It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth however derives its force sometimes from place and sometimes from parentage, but in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States; it will therefore be unnecessary to investigate any other.
