Methinks you're kinda* mixed up there. If you believe Tribe and Olson are members of the Vattel school, then I've got an island in the Hudson River to sell you.

*To put it mildly, as the saying goes.

Prior to your reference to Vattel, I was not fully conversant with his writings but have read more today since you want to paint me with that brush. As I attempted to do earlier, I do align and agree with Tribe and Olson in their analysis of the specifics of Sen. McCain’s citizenship status. I agree that they are not adherents of Vattel’s writings especially since they reference Blackstone’s Commentary, a source not held in high regard in the “birther” community site scans I did today.

In aligning myself with Tribe/Olson, I take specific note of their memo’s closing paragraph on birth to two parents of US citizenship on soil under US sovreignty. This is the source of my differing terminology in natural versus native. I understand that current legalities do not support that as a distinction.

I believe our exchange can now be considered complete.
