Vattel had absolute no influence on the our founders and the Constitutional Congress during the drafting o the Constitution on citizenship.
funny how over 100 cases dealing with citizenship never mentions 2 parents have to be citizens
Its complete crap.
Because you know why? NO ONE in the US would be a natural born citizen. Since everyone was descended from IMMIGRANTS.
Our founders were not natural born citizens. They were made "citizens' by the the ratification of the Constitution.
Then that would mean that their CHILDREN would not be Natural born by IC's idiotic definition of natural born. So if their children were not natural born, then their children are not "natural born" and down the history we go. NO ONE In the US is a Natural born using the idiotic definition of "2 parents citizens required"
The logic does not follow
Since no one was born to 2 citizen parents at the start of our country, that means NO one is a natural born according to IC (and his wrong interpretation of Vattel).
That is why the 2 parent requirement HAS NEVER aPPEARED IN LAW and IN OUR CONSTITUTION.
If the founding fathers wanted to qualify natural born as "being born from 2 citizen parents", they wOULD HAVE it in the Constitution.
OOps not there.
Article 1, Article 2 and the 14th Amendment clearly states who are citizens. THERE are only 2 classes of citizens :
Natural born/Native born
Naturalized.
Good morning, InformedConsent. Hope you slept well and had the time necessary to find a tiny amount of the intellectual courage that fled you so dramatically yesterday when you ran screaming like a school girl from this question:
Do you believe that a person born in Los Angeles, California to two U.S. citizen parents who were both born in Erie, Pennsylvania is a natural born citizen?
But now it's a new day and the thirteenth time is a charm. The question is absolutely and completely on topic, as you will discover once you have answered it. It drills right down to the phony definition of natural born citizen you've been trying to foist off in this thread for the last couple days.
If you choose not to answer it, we will be forced to take it as a tacit admission that your answer is "yes." After all... it meets everybody's definition of natural born citizen.
It meets my definition since the person is born on U.S. soil.
It meets your definition since the person is born on U.S. soil to two citizen parents.
So it is really very funny that you are afraid to simply answer it... unless you actually do not believe your definition after all.
So... be a man.
Answer the question...
...or admit that you do not even believe your own definition of natural born citizen.
but it is on topic. your contention is that obama is not a NBC because his father was from foriegn country and obama had the opportunity to get dual citizenship.

Hey, IC.... why are you so afraid of answering the question?
I'm staying on topic, and I refuse to let you derail and/or divert this thread with an off-topic hypothetical, irrelevant question.

Yep, it's the 12th time HD is hiding behind a completely irrelevant hypothetical question.
HD's irrelevant ramblings are a clear cut case of 'doth protest too much.' HD is desperately hoping to distract attention away from the facts of Obama's Constitutional ineligibility to be president.
I'm sticking with the facts. It's been clearly demonstrated that Obama owed allegiance to a foreign sovereign at birth, which makes him ineligible under the 'natural born citizen' clause, the intent of which was clearly elucidated by John Jay in his letter to Washington on July 25, 1787.
And thank you again for keeping the facts of Obama's Constitutional ineligibilityto be POTUS at the top of POC!
