“”””No, they just disagree with your nutjob interpretations, and have since at least the 1840s.”””””
If they disagree, then let the courts deal and clarify this matter. They should make a clear determination using today’s language.
If the courts refuse to do this, then they are cowards.... in spite of what you say
The courts HAVE dealt with this matter - back in the 1800s. There has been NO legal dispute for over 100 years.
Birthers reading Vattel, who didn’t realize the phrase NBC only occurred in the 1797 translation, 10 years AFTER the Constitution was written, have tried to make it an issue by claiming Vattel was the basis for the NBC phrase. They were aided in this stupidity by the fact that ‘natural born’ had largely disappeared from daily use in the 1800s, and most folks don’t know it was used all the time in citizenship cases during the 1700s.
Thus folks THOUGHT the strange sounding phrase came from Vattel - not understanding that it was the NORMAL legal phrase used in the 1700s, with an established legal meaning.
The courts have been clear, which is why these cases never go anywhere. It is NOT a giant conspiracy consisting of all 50 states, every court, and every member of Congress.
