IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN
(Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a “natural born citizen” is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President (and VP), it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.

The Post and Mail is not an ‘irrefutable authority’ !
Sorry, but you have been duped.
They are misciting Vattel.
Vattel later states that a person has a ‘settlement’ and a ‘habitat’. When a child is born, the child has the same citizenship as the parents settlement, not their habitat.
A persons settlement remains the same unless repudiated.
This even a child born abroad, and Vattel uses an ambassador as his example, is a citizen of the parents settlement.
Citizenship by parentage over citizenship by soil.
