Thanks for posting the Law of Nations citation. That book is one of the sources considered authoritative by the Supreme Court.

Another one is Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England. It has the exception for children to born abroad to citizen parents. But, some contend that the framers rejected Blackstone in favor of Vattel’s definition.
