I guess that you are not getting my point.

Whether the Founders took a strict interpretation from a single source - English Common Law, English Common Law, Grotius, Vattel, etc. OR some combination thereof is NOT relevant.

My point is that Calvin’s Case [which people point to as legitimacy for Obama as NBC] was WRONG ...

There was NO English statute that stated any child born in England was natural-born [save the exceptions previously noted]. And, I have provided proof of that vis-a-vis the passages from Parliament.

The Founders would have known that AND would have known that a man CANNOT serve two masters at the same time.

Consequently, due to the British Nationality Act of 1728, the Founders would have realized that a child born to a natural-born English subject COULD NEVER be considered NBC.

Well...I guess that makes two of us as your not getting my point.

There was no need for them to have to convert the exclusive English law phrase for a natural born Subject when in fact there was a definition for natural born Citizen available to them in the very source they referred to when raising the country and creating the Constitution.
