I see you're relying on DrConspiracy misquotes..when Madison said “in general place is the most certain” is because people didn't travel willy nilly while pregnant in those days. They tended to stay at the home front. It might behoove you actually to go to the congressional archives and read the entire speech by Madison to see what he actually meant before you continue to use cut & paste out of context quotes.

And Madison followed by saying, "...it is what applies in the United States; it will therefore be unnecessary to investigate any other." Place, not citizenship.

Not a problem. It's in Madison's papers available online here. Or Founders Constitution, located here. Both will take you to the entire speech, which I did, in fact, read. And nowhere in it does Madison contradict the position that I quoted.

But perhaps you'll enlighten us and tell us the in-context parts you're referring to.
