"SO, by applying Vattel's "Natural Born Citizen" definition, using natural law in requiring BOTH parents to be citizens ..."

Vattel didn't HAVE a "Natural Born Citizen" definition.

"By applying Blackstones's "Natural Born Subject" definition, using the common law to recognize the children born "out of the country" of the FATHER (only) as being a "Natural Born Subject" of his FATHER's country ..."

Which is completely meaningless if BO is born IN the US.
