Can anyone claim the media did its job vetting him? Even at FOX they never had the debate that he was not an NBC. His birth certificate only proves that.
His birth certificate proves he was born in the US and a citizen at birth. Which is a natural born citizen.
An NBC is a person born in the US with 2 American parents. This covers around 90% of US citizens
A person born in the US to 2 American parents is definitely a natural born citizen. So is a person born in the US to two non-citizens. As natural born status follows place of birth.
According to you not how the rule was intended. They based it on Vattel.
According to you.
- At the time the Constitution was written, there was no English translation of Vattel
- There is no evidence that Vattel was ever referenced for the term "Natural Born Citizen"
- At no point in our history has anyone presumed that a natural born citizen requires 2 citizen parents- until Birthers created that definition in 2008.
