My guess is that Oceander can read a whole lot better than you.
So, you insist that Vattel is IN the Constitution. Great.
Article, Section and Clause, please.
The constitution of the united States with Index, and The Declaration of Independence. Copyright 2009, 2012 national Center for Constitutional Studies.
Article I, Section 8:
“To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations.”
Vattel wrote The Law of Nations and published it first in 1758.
Vattel IS “in the constitution.”
