“and historically the father or both parents determined when some one was a NBC.”
Not true. Sorry. “Natural born” had a well established meaning in English law. The founders used it understanding what it meant. The definition YOU are arguing for came about AFTER the Constitution, following a bad translation of Vattel into English.
Your post, backed by a pre-1789 quotation in original language, would be well worth reposting and bookmarking.
vattel was 1749 and I believe Jefferson was familiar with the French writer.
The nationality of the father is common in many countries and goes back to Roman and Greek times IIRC.
Why would the founders want the son of a British citizen to be commander in chief especially after two wars? I think the letter between Washington and Jay puts your argument to rest.
What we need is for the USSC to grow a pair and issue a ruling.
