This is an example of what I meant when I said that I found you mostly tedious.
Rawle had no reason to lie about secession. He had a very good reason to lie about the meaning of "Natural Born Citizen."

Where you get the patience idk.
According to you. According to you, two of the most respected Constitutional scholars of the time were lying about the meaning of natural-born citizen. According to you Madison was dishonest when he defined natural born citizen. According to you every single person of the times who did not adhere to the Vattel definition were simply wrong. According to you.
Be that as it may, and regardless of whether Vattel is right or Blackstone is right because that is entirely a matter of opinion, it still makes your claim that there was one, universal, all agreed upon, definition of natural born citizen to be a load of manure. Which also makes it a typical DiogenesLamp post.
