The definition of "natural born citizen" is provided in very clear text in the background documents of the Founders. It is clearly one born of two American citizens.


Well said. You've obviously read Vattel's "Law of Nations" !

The Writings of Thomas by Thomas Jefferson and Henry Augustine Washington

Page 596 International Law (See Laws of Nations)

clicking the caption we arrive Index TO Volume II

Hope this helps finding Laws of Nations was used by the Founders.

jefferson writes law of the nations and laws of the land.

One instance he writes on page 493. “The clauses of the Convention of 1784..with privileges of the laws of nations,...to laws of the land..

page 416..the fourth article gives to the counsels the immunities of the laws of the nations..

page 417 it is mentioned again..
