Pyro7480, you are in a debate with true believers. They have a religious belief in Vattel, and ignore the fact that Vattel never wrote about natural born subjects, let alone NBCs.
It is like telling a mother she has an ugly baby. The facts don’t matter, only her hurt feelings...
"Les naturels, ou indigenes, sont ceux qui sont nes dans le pays, de parens citoyens"
That's what Vattel wrote. You know, the legal treatise that was read and referenced during the Federal Convention itself.
What does that translate into?
By the way, I'm sure you know that Vattel was "celebrated" as a "genius" in the colonies more than a decade before the Declaration of Independence and more than 2 decades prior to the Constitution was written.
You belittle Law of Nations....you belittle the founders, framers and learned colonists.
I look forward to your translation.
