The meaning you insist is "quite clear" is a figment of your imagination. It exists nowhere in Jay's letter
Obama, born with foreign citizenship, is Constitutionally ineligible.
John Jay to George Washington, 1787:
Quote:
Permit me to hint whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government, and to declare expressly that the Command in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born citizen.
And here we see you doing exactly what birthers do. You are moving the goal posts having failed with the last set you put in place.
I'm not moving anything. There are very specific requirements in the Italian law. What are the exact citizenship statuses of your parents and your forebears. That all has bearing on your supposed claim to dual citizenship eligibility.
Obama, born with foreign citizenship, is Constitutionally ineligible.
Too bad for your theory that under US law he was also born a natural born citizen of the United States. Therefore the British Nationality Act is trumped by our law.
Unless you are going to continue to insist that American law is inferior to British law.

Cite the U.S. law that states that a child of a U.S. citizen parent and a non-U.S. citizen parent is a natural born citizen of the U.S.

So what? There are also very specific requirements under the British Nationalist Act regarding Obama. There are very specific requirements for any and all nations that grant citizenship jus sanguinis.
In my case, I met them for Italy.
Hence... I am both a natural born citizen of the US, and a dual national with Italy at birth.
Just as Obama is both a natural born citizen of the US, and a dual national with Britain at birth.
QED: Vattel is wrong, the dual citizenship argument is wrong, or both are wrong.
It elucidates the intended meaning of the 'natural born citizen' clause in the U.S. Constitution.
