Myth: Common law states that being born on the soil – Jus Soli – makes one a “natural born subject” and therefore every person born on US soil is a “natural born citizen”.

Attorney Collins takes this on directly and establishes clearly that there is no common law in the United States. He also explains that natural born citizens are in no way, shape or form, the same as natural born subjects.

Excuse me, English common law - which is also a foundation of our legal system - states that Jus Soli is the right and proper way to consider natural born citizenship.

And here are a few dozen references stating that English common law was the foundation of our own legal system.

Can you show any references that state that Vattel's The Law of Nations was the foundation for our legal system? I'm not denying it had an influence, but for 150 years the Americas had used English common law, it was the law that our Founders were governed by until the revolution, and it is widely acknowledged by multiple legal references (West's Law, Black's Law, etc) and our own Supreme Court and Government as the foundation for our own Nation.
