Ha! Just the kind of response I expected. You cannot accept that two founders explicitly reject your theory.

BTW - there is NO evidence Madison wrote the letter you claim he did. Indeed, it is highly unlikely that he would resurrect a 20 year old alias.

Bottom line: James McClure was found to be a US citizen based on his birth in the US. And that is consistent with US law from before there was a US:

“It thus clearly appears that, by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the Crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, the jurisdiction of the English Sovereign, and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign State or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born.

III. The same rule was in force in all the English Colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the Constitution as originally established.”

Oh, but wait! You reject the US Supreme Court as having any authority...
