“... and then to top it off, the LEGAL Reference YOU use to define ‘natural born citizen’ is Dictionary.com”

The essential core of the law is not historical context, as you seem to imply. There is a deeper level. Ultimately, all legal arguments must come down to semantics, since laws are written in words. There’s no escaping it.

Yeah, but when "words mean things," and you're trying to be precise in the vernacular of "natural born citizen" ...

Emer de Vattel's "The Law of Nations," upon which modern international law and political philosophy is built, has a little higher credibility than Dictionary.com.

Vattel: "natural-born citizens are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens."

Dictionary.com: "having a specified characteristic or ability from birth; having the legal status of a citizen; having a position or status from birth; native-born; by virtue of one's nature, qualities, or innate talent: a natural-born musician."

... hey, might as well use Urban Dictionary. There's no entry there yet! Since you're okay with Revisionism -- go for it -- write your own definition while it's still open ...
