This quote is taken directly from Vattel’s book on the Law of Nations, which has been a world
recognized and time honored reference guide to understanding “natural law,” and the natural
birthrights of national citizenship recognized by all civilized nations for more than two-
hundred and fifty years. (See: http://www.constitution.org/vattel/vattel_01.htm)
Emerich de Vattel was a Swiss philosopher, diplomat, and legal expert who lived from 1714 –
1767, and whose theories laid the foundation of modern international law and political
philosophy. Vattel’s book on the Law of Nations was released in 1758; in English, “The Law
of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law Applied to the Conduct and to the
Affairs of Nations and of Sovereigns” (See:
http://www.constitution.org/vattel/vattel_01.htm).
Vattel’s book established many time honored standards of natural law recognized the world
over and it is an historical reference regarding the Constitutional eligibility requirement for
the offices of President and Vice President, Natural Born Citizen, found in Article II – Section
I – Clause V.
“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.”
Vattel confirms in clear concise language what a “natural-born citizen” of a nation is…
“The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become
true citizens merely by their tacit consent.”
In other words, by “nature’s law” - not by way of man-made statute. In fact, unalienable by
way of man-made statute, as mans law cannot alter or overcome the laws of nature. This is in
fact “international law” via the Law of Nations. It is not enough that a sovereign nation
identify its citizens. Other nations must recognize the rights of sovereign citizens from foreign
lands.
1. Obama was not born in Hawaii, but rather Kenya. He would in this case be
a “naturalized” citizen (IF) he went through the standard US Naturalization

2. Obama was born in Hawaii, but to a US mother and Kenyan Father. In this
possible scenario, Obama could be a “native-born” citizen of the US. He would
certainly be a “natural-born” citizen of Kenya, due to the birthrights of his father.
This would make Obama a “dual citizen” with “divided” national loyalties. On this
basis, he would not pass the test for office, but would be the poster-child for why
the natural-born citizen clause exists.
3. Following scenario (1) or (2), Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetoro. In this
case, Obama’s mother would have exchanged his US claim to citizenship for
citizenship of Indonesia, as the adoptive son of Lolo Soetoro, for which he has at
times claimed the name “Barry Soetoro,” citizen of Indonesia. Even if Obama had
endured a naturalization process to return to US citizenship status, he would then
be a “naturalized-citizen” rather than a “natural-born” citizen eligible for the
office he currently holds.
As the term “citizen” is very broad and includes “naturalized” citizens, it is NOT the
requirement for the office of president or vice president.
As the term “native-born” relates only to “place of birth,” and is also not the stated
requirement for the Oval Office mentioned in Article II – Section I, it has no bearing on the
matter of Obama’s eligibility for office.
Our Founding Fathers could not have been any more specific about the requirements for the
office of president, “NO PERSON except a NATURAL-BORN Citizen.” It isn’t their
fault that too many Americans don’t care about or can’t comprehend this term or the purpose
behind it today.
Vattel could not have been any more clear about the definition of “natural-born citizen,”
Elks Vs Wilkins (1872) - was an issue concerning “native born” Indian’s born on Indian
reservations and whether or not their loyalty to the Indian tribe was enough to deny them US
citizenship, unrelated to the subject of natural born citizenship and Article II.
Slaughterhouse Cases (1872) - was a case on the 14th Amendments, once again,
regarding immigration and naturalization, which of course does not pertain to natural born
citizens at all.

Minor vs Happersett (1874) - is another 14th Amendment case, regarding women’s right
to vote, as equal “citizens.”
US Vs Wong Kim Ark (1898) - was a case of “native born citizenship” - when both parents
were immigrants from China, naturalized US citizens who gave birth to a son on US soil
before returning to China. The son was held up upon returning from a trip to China, but was
granted re-entry as a “native-born” citizen, having been born on US soil to two immigrant
parents. Once again, immigration and no relationship whatsoever to natural born citizenship.
Perkins Vs Elg (1939) - also a ruling on “acquired citizenship” for children of alien
parentage…. immigration and naturalization.
Schneider Vs Rusk (1964) - was a 5th Amendment case, relative passport and travel rights
to immigrant citizens…
Now, every case listed is completely unrelated to natural born citizen and Article II of the
Constitution. All of them were cases revolving around immigration and naturalization laws.
So, are the people ignorant or unable to read? Or are they simply willing to stretch the truth,
assuming that you won’t bother to check their facts?
Legal US citizens or sovereign states are NOT obligated to follow illegal laws from a
fraudulent resident of the people’s White House. Obama has “no constitutional standing” as
an “undocumented resident” of the Oval Office.
The courts have never ruled on Obama’s constitutional standing. In fact, they have refused to
hear evidence from the people on the matter, or force Obama to unseal all of his records to
answer legitimate questions coming from a growing number of US citizens.
Before only violent options for upholding the rule of law remain, the people MUST find a
peaceful means by which to force Obama to become “transparent.”
Vattel’s book on the Law of Nations (internationally recognized citizenship laws) was released

in 1758. Unlike modern society, many of our Founding Fathers were quite familiar with the
language of the original book. They did not need to wait for English translation in order to
read or understand the book, or the Law of Nations at the foundation of Vattel’s book.
For the record, pretty much all informed people recognize Vattel’s writings as the authority on
the subject, even those who have trouble understanding what he wrote and don’t agree with
his opinions. He was in fact a well-known “legal scholar” of that era, one that most Founding
Fathers were quite familiar with.
The book was released eighteen years before our Declaration of Independence and twenty-
nine years before those words “natural-born citizen” appeared in Article II of our US
Constitution.
Further, it is NOT enough for each nation to recognize only their own citizens. Other nations
MUST recognize and respect the sovereign citizens and related rights of other nations, hence
the purpose for the Law of Nations, or a set standard recognized by all civilized nations.
Cut off from all peaceful remedies, I hate to think of what happens when patriotic American
souls take matters into their own hands.
One thing is certain, however… It is NOT within the U.S. DNA to live in fear of our
government for very long. Americans prefer peace, but will in the end defend freedom, liberty,
and our rule of law at any cost. We will not leave this nation in ruins for future generations.
We hate tyranny worse than death…
I call upon all peace-loving patriots to find a peaceful solution before only violent solutions
remain.
There is no such thing as a “pro-war” American citizen. There are only “pro-American”
citizens unwilling to exchange their freedom and liberty for a moment of faux temporary
peace.
May God guide the hearts, minds and hands of all patriots, in this time of great national
challenge.
