Is Vattel in the Constitution? No. If not, then his value is persuasive only. That does not get rid of the ambiguity.
........................................................The ambiguity is in your mind and those who would wish to push their progressive agenda, including, but not limited to the U. N. Agenda 21 and all its supporters.
Vattel IS in the Constitution in Section I under the powers of congress.
Vattel Is referenced by no less than John jay, First Chief justice of the Supreme court.
Vattel IS referenced by Benjamin Franklin who distributed copies of The Law of Nations. his correspondence with the printer is self explanatory as to the importance with which the Law of Nations was regarded by the Framers.
One of the Constitutional Delegation clearly stated that British Common Law was NOT the foundation of American law.
Vattel is cited in supreme Court Cases.
Vattel was taught in American law schools from the founding of the country.
There is a mountain of information upholding Vattel. Profit from it. Don’t try to weaken the constitution because of your own comprehension difficulties.
Why is it so hard to answer a yes or no question. Is Vattel in the Constitution? I read the Constitution and I don’t see “Vattel” in there or “Law of Nations” in there. I see a very ambiguous phrase “natural born citizen” in there, and that tells me that one needs to go to external sources to try and divine what meaning, if any, that term has - i.e., is it some sort of term of art - and for that sources such as Vattel are persuasive only, they are not authoritative.
My loyalty lies with the Constitution, first and always. Why does your loyalty lie first with Vattel?
Of course Vattel’s is all over the Constit.
Remember Oceander joined late ... Nov 25, 2009.
The older FReepers fighting all the Obo NBC since 2007 pretty much know all of this. Oceander is obfuscating the issue.
Remembre Molly , catching flak is a good thing here... your over the target.
