No they did not. They explicitly said he was NOT an American citizen because his FATHER was not a citizen at the time he was born. They later relented (three years later) when South Carolina claimed him as a citizen under South Carolina law, but not before the proof came from South Carolina.
As I mentioned before, Madison WROTE the constitution, and John Armstrong was a member of the Continental Congress when the Constitution was debated.
BOTH of them said he wasn't a citizen of the US unless he could prove he was a citizen under the laws of South Carolina.
Later. I have to go. Everybody research James McClure and explain why our government allowed him to be held for 3+ years while our official position was that he was NOT a citizen.
