You may wish to read Professor of Law Polly Price's article, "Natural Law and Birthright Citizenship in Calvin's Case (1608)"

"The roots of United States conceptions of birthright citizenship lie deep in England's medieval past. This Article explores Calvin's Case (1608) and the early modern common-law mind that first articulated a theoretical basis for territorial birthright citizenship. Involving all the important English judges of the day, Calvin's Case addressed the question of whether persons born in Scotland, following the descent of the English crown to the Scottish King James VI in 1603, would be considered "subjects" in England. Calvin's Case determined that all persons born within any territory held by the King of England were to enjoy the benefits of English law as subjects of the King. A person born within the King's dominion owed allegiance to the sovereign and in turn was entitled to the King's protection. Calvin's Case is the earliest, most influential theoretical articulation by an English court of what came to be the common-law rule that a person's status was vested at birth, and based upon place of birth. In the view of Sir Edward Coke, one of the judges deciding Calvin's Case, the court's determination was required by the divine law of nature, which was "indeed . . . the eternal law of the Creator" and "part of the law of England." 1997, Yale Journal of Law and the Humanities

And the Founder's were well aware of the Calvin's Case:

"in Calvins Case, who was not of the Realm, but yet was no Alien because born within the Allegiance of [the King]." John Adams, April, 17, 1775 "To the Inhabitants of the Colony of Massachusetts-Bay"

Oh but the Founders didn't go with any English thoughts about English birthright citizenship statutes or Calvin Case or English Common law as to their intent behind the natural born citizen clause written in the US Constitution as they were believers of the Law of Nations written by Vattel.

James Madison wrote these notes seen below in 1830 about the Constitutional Convention of 1787. You'll notice in the red rectangular box, the number "3. Letters & writings constitutional"

What's the first phrase you see after the "Letters & writings constitutional" there Foggy?

Yes, we all see it's the "Law of Nations"

We also see nothing, no, nada, zip, zero, nor hide nor hair of any English Common law written, and of course nothing there about "Natural Law and Birthright Citizenship in Calvin's Case (1608)." There is no connection whatsoever of Calvin Case, but again we all do see the major driving force behind the US Constitution which was the Law of Nations.

“Natural Law and Birthright Citizenship in Calvin’s Case (1608)”

Cannot locate this document in the Journals of the Continental Congress.

You guys use to this say this about Vattel. But we know this is a lie the fogbow and Dr.Fraud fabricated.

Vattel is listed and not under Swiss.
