I’ve met all too many. Every single one of them tried to pretend that in order to “understand” Article II you have to look to Vattel or some other nonsense.

There are two kinds of citizens contemplated in Article II (excepting the grandfather clause, which as an ongoing concern died with the last American born before the Constitution). We have natural born and naturalized. Cruz is natural born. His eligibility is unquestioned by the letter of the law.

What about women who derived their citizenship by means of marriage to their citizen husbands??? They are neither natural born nor naturalized.

Which means they support judges using foreign written documents in US courts...of course that statement just made their heads explode because they are always against foreign documents being used in US courts.

Then how about trying a Supreme Court Case: Justice Waite in Minor versus Happersett.
