[DiogenesLamp]

Vattel wrote a text book in French called The Law of Nations. The Law of Nations is the archaic term for International Law. No nation answers to International Law when making a domestic decision about its own citizenship laws.

"Vattel was by far the most quoted legal source in pleadings in American cases, by almost a factor of 4, between 1790 and 1820. (Nussbaums Concise History of the Law of Nations, 1962)."

Domestic decisions regarding a nation's own citizenship is not decided by international law, but it is clear you would prefer to have the United States subservient to the crackpots in The Hague.
