Vattel was not a source for citizenship laws.

Laws? You are obfuscating. I never said he was, but his work helped the founders define terms.

A naturalized citizen has every right except this - he cannot run fro President.

Why not? A citizen is a citizen is a citizen. An anchor baby, a liar like 0b0z0, according to you is the same as a son of two Americans. In fact why not a person who goes to the trouble to be naturalized and become an American as opposed to a kid who was dropped in a US hospital by America haters who just want the welfare?

You STILL did not address why the founders used different terms to define eligibility for POTUS and all other office holders if there is no distinction.

“I never said he was, but his work helped the founders define terms.”

The courts disagree.

“An anchor baby, a liar like 0b0z0, according to you is the same as a son of two Americans.”

I disagree with the anchor baby concept, but I’m not stupid enough to try to change it in the courts. However, if I did, I would NOT argue Vattel. I would point out that WKA says parents “in amity” can be foreign born, but parents in an invading army do not give birth to a citizen.
