“Natural born Citizen means born to U.S. citizen parents on U.S. soil.”
Which part of the Constitution of the United States can I find that statement?
……………………………………………………………….
ANYONE who has studied The Law of Nations and the history of its influence on our Founders who wrote the Constitution fully understands the meaning of NATURAL BORN Citizen. It is a term used only once in the Constitution. As for ignorance as to the influence of The Law of Nations, please refer to Section 8 of the Constitution where the Law of Nations is cited. “To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas and Offenses against the Law of Nations.”

ANYONE who has studied The Law of Nations and the history of its influence on our Founders who wrote the Constitution fully understands the meaning of NATURAL BORN Citizen.

What muddles this reasoning is that the original 1789 English translation of The Law of Nations was not available until two years after the Philadelphia Convention, and a year after the ninth state ratified the document. Therefore, it seems almost impossible for it to have been the definitive basis for the wording used in the United States Constitution.
