The Declaration of Independence does not mention English common law, mentioning instead the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" and "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights"
The United States is founded upon natural law.
English common law originates in the rule of a king, that rule being "common" throughout the kingdom.
Royalty is antithetical to our republic and its foundation in natural law.
I note that you again reinforce the point that ECL must be because a judge said so. Relying on a judge to "strengthen" your argument rather than refuting a single point makes the case for me.
Natural born citizen = The Posterity of We the People.
Only the Posterity of We the People can become President of the United States.

If you want to know what the Founders meant by a legal term, you need to know what the legal term meant at the time.
If birthers cannot figure that out, then they will have to go on being losers...
