Item 1 -— See below.
Item 2 — Why did John Roberts ignore Item 1 and swear in Hussein? Good question! He should be held accountable!
Now for the constituional part......

The Constitution and de Vattel’s Law of Nations has the answer to any questions regarding citizenship abroad and any laws crossing national boundaries:
EXCERPT 1. U.S. Constitution, Article II, §1:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, OR a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;
EXCERPT 2: de Vattel’s Law of Nations circa 1758 Book 1, Chapter XIX, § 212:
The natives, or NATURAL-BORN CITIZENS, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent.
Finally, the main item in the Constitution that ties both together:
EXCERPT 3: U.S. Constitution, Article I, §8:
The Congress shall have Power.To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations
Yes, Law of Nations is CAPITALIZED, meaning our framers were citing a proper name. There was only one Law of Nations in 1787 officially declared. And yes, Congress has the power to create and enforce ANY LAW mentioned in the Law of Nations written by Emmerich de Vattel! It was sitting right under our noses the entire time.
This is nonsense. They were not citing a book. They were citing a term. The same term that an author used to title his book.
Vattel's book is not the Constitution. The Constitution is not a blanket endorsement of everything Vattel ever wrote. This is not rational thinking.
In English common law, which is not what Vattel was talking about but is what applied in the colonies, a "natural born" subject is simply someone born within the country.
