You define "natural" as "not requiring the intervention of man". How does that relate to determining natural-born citizen?

This is why I don't like talking to you. I have to explain things to you that are axiomatic to anyone with intelligence.

Let me make it simple for you. If you have to pass a law to make someone into a citizen, they are not a "natural" citizen. They are an artificial citizen created through the action of a man made law.

No "law" is required to make a natural citizen. They are inherently a citizen in the manner they are inherently human.

It is like the distinction between a blood-related child of a family, and an adopted child of a family; Another analogy which proved to be too complicated for you to grasp.

What is so funny is that you seemingly have no trouble understanding "natural law" when it comes to slavery, but are completely baffled by it when it comes to citizenship.

And since I'm dealing with you then that's why your crap is so confusing.

And you base that on what? Other than your own opinion?

Can you point me to somewhere that lists what "natural law" says on slavery?
