Moreover, Alexander Hamilton (a signer of the U. S. Constitution) in the Gazette of the United States, published in Philadelphia, on June 29, 1793 stated, The second article of the Constitution of the United States, section first, establishes this general proposition, that the EXECUTIVE POWER shall be vested in a President of the United States of America The executive is charged with the execution of all laws, The Law of Nations, as well as the municipal law, by which the former are recognized and adopted. Clearly, Hamilton, himself, was aware of the writers of the U.S. Constitution use of Vattels Laws of Nations to form the basis of Article ll, Section l of the U.S. Constitution in its wording, meaning, and definitions
"The Law of Nations provides the writers of the U.S. Constitution with the definition of a natural born" citizen as follows:
§ 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"...plural. Therefore, in terms of the intent of the writers of Article ll, Section l, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution, according to Hamilton, himself, a natural born U.S. citizen is a person born of two U.S. Citizens.
