"From an earlier edition, there’s a useful footnote referencing a book by Thach and another by Farrand that evidently provide further detail on the source of the NBC clause:
http://books.google.com.ph/books?id=p1o_AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA325&img=1&pgis=1&dq=natural-born&sig=ACfU3U3ty8VF5MKgQlUD8IOpUDO3T6rcOQ&edge=1

Thus, it’s easily possible Corwin relied on these authorities rather than Vattel directly."

The creation of the presidency, 1775-1789; a study in constitutional history by Charles Coleman Thach

http://www.archive.org/stream/creationofpresid00thac#page/n311/mode/2up/search/natural

Basically states that the requirement for a "Natural Born Citizen" most likely came from Jay's suggestion to Washington.

Thach is referenced 3 times in this piece from Cornell law:

“Nations are regarded as individual free persons living in a state of nature.

For they consist of a multitude of men united into a state. Therefore since states are regarded as individual free persons living in a state of nature, nations also must be regarded in

relation to each other as individual free persons living in a state of nature.”
