Again: were the Founders thinking of their own states, and the use of NBC in their state laws, or were they thinking of Vattel’s “indigene”? Were they thinking of Vattel’s native, or were they thinking of how they had used NBC when adjusting their state laws?
Were they thinking about “natural born citizen” - a legal phrase that existed prior to the Constitution - or were they thinking of Vattel? And if they were thinking of Vattel, why didn’t they adjust their other laws to match Vattel?
Vattel said citizenship followed the father. That was never true in US law. Even in the 1797 translation of Vattel, it read that the native, or natural born citizen - making an equivalence between native and NBC. Bad translation, but lets pretend it is true. They why are native citizens different in your view than NBC, when Vattel uses them as interchangeable?
The discussion is Morse..lets stick to him..for the moment..did you read the highlighted sentence..did you see the number 4..did you look..down the page..Droit des Gens..he references 212. I posted 212 from the referenced book.
He writes in English the book is in French. What is he telling us about section 212..its meaning..
