“You really ought to check your history references. The revolution occurred not because the colonists didn’t like British common law, but because common law was not being applied to the colonists.”
We in this forum have checked our sources, Vattel’s Droit des Gens gave the Founders the legal justification to break away from the mother country.
Read the book. Stop relying on talking points.
Is that a Greek translation dictionary?
Might it then follow that only direct descendants of people who were American citizens in 1787 can be President?
Not a definition of natural born.
Philosophy book, and does not say “natural born” = “posterity.”
Still doesn’t equate “natural born” with “posterity”. Also, “kind” in a dictionary doesn’t support your point that the Framers meant to put natural born in a “kind”.
You are in denial.
And this proves what?
You said When the Framers used natural born Citizen they placed this type of citizen into a Kind. This Kind (natural born citizens) are the citizens created after the ratification and their descendants (posterity). You provided no evidence the Framers did any such thing.
Finally, you said "Jefferson wrote...they will come and destroy everything we have built. He meant foreigners." I asked for the source of the quote. You have not provided it.
Changing the subject to avoid giving me the reference on what you attributed to Thomas Jefferson?
I post on these forums out of interest, free of charge, I am paid only for my work in health care. Are you cobbling up another conspiracy theory? Or do you hate Marco Rubio so much?
My understanding accords with decisions of the Supreme Court. Yours does not. Got the source for the Jefferson quote yet?
