The US Department of State posted the following and thereby confirms Burlamaqui and Vattel, both whom I and others here have stated defined the term ‘Natural Born Citizen’ as understood by the Framers, Founders, and signers of the United States Constitution.
“America’s Founders were inspired by the ideas and values of early Swiss philosophers like Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui and Emer de Vattel, and the 1848 Swiss Constitution was influenced by our own U.S. Constitution. Swiss commitment to democracy is an example for nations and people everywhere who yearn for greater freedoms and human rights.”

Baracka Abdallah Husein Obama – foreign born, foreign spawn, foreign allegiance, foreign national.
“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.
Vattel
Vattel in Bk 1 Sec 212, states the following.
§ 212. Citizens and natives.
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.
Here are some of Burlamaqui’s statements about ‘members of society’
Burlamaqui refers to ‘law of nations, and that that even if Barack Obama was allowed to attain as Burlamaqui states the years of discretion, Barack Obama maintained citizenship, allegiance to the British Empire as a british subject and a Kenyan Citizen till 1983, into his adulthood.
As the 1866 Act provides: “All persons born in the United States, and NOT SUBJECT to any foreign power, (excluding Indians not taxed,) are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States.”
quote; “NOT SUBJECT to any foreign power”
Baracka Abdallah Husein Obama has unequivocally stated that at birth he was a British subject, whose allegiance, protection, and jurisdiction was to the British Crown and WAS SUBJECT TO A FOREIGN POWER.
Obama’s statement never acknowledges any United States citizenship, allegiance, or Jurisdiction, in any part thereof, nor any other country.
Baracka Abdallah Husein Obama acknowledges only one allegaince and that is to a foreign power.
“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.
Michelle Obama stated ‘Barack Obama a Kenyan’
Michelle Obama ‘When we visited Barack’s home country of Kenya’
A ‘citizen’ is not a ‘Natural Born Citizen’, as proven by the distinction in the Constitutional eligibility requirements in the United States Constitution.
United States Constitution Art 1, sec 2
Representitive eligibility requirement.
No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have …been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, .
CITIZEN!
United States Constitution Art 1, sec 3
Senatorial eligibility requirement.
No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have…been nine Years a Citizen of the United States
CITIZEN!
United States Constitution Art 2, sec1
Presidential requirement.
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; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
NATURAL BORN CITIZEN!
If they equated to the same definition and meaning the Founding Fathers, Framers, signers of the United States Constitution would have used the same wording.
