Here is what is actually the law of the land since the ratification of the 14th Amendment:
“Nationals and Citizens of the United States At Birth”

Ok, when the link. The word ‘natural’ is not even there.

It does say who is a ‘born Citizen’. Got that.

But that is only half the equation.

‘natural born Citizen’ = ‘natural Citizen and born Citizen’ in the English language.

So being a ‘born Citizen’ is not enough. The Citizenship must come from nature - as the founders would understand it natural law.

As for your race and feminist baiting - the answer is yes - women and blacks can certainly be a natural born citizen under natural law - it only requires their fathers be citizens at the time of their birth. So if Sarah Palin’s father was a citizen when she was born she is in. Condoleza Rice, in. Barack H. Obama II - not so much.

Son of Brit ain’t legit.

Again, the Supreme Court has already said that “natural born citizen” is the American version of “natural born subject” - a legal term that had specific meaning at the time the Constitution was written.

And that meaning INCLUDED the children of alien parents.

The Founders COULD have written “born of citizen parents” - 4 words. Instead, they used 3 words with an established legal meaning - and no, it was NOT Vattel.

Since 1868 and the ratification of the 14th Amendment, there are only two classifications of all American citizens: Born and Naturalized. If you ain’t the one, you are the other.
