** Many during the revolution were likely not born here. **

and that is built into the Constitution.

What I do wonder is, what\who was considered a citizen of the United States at the time of adoption of the constitution
as the Constitution doesn't identify eligibility for either kind of citizenship.

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution

That was hashed out on the 0bola research threads. From what I remember anyone living in the US at the time it formally because the USA was considered a US citizen. Hopefully someone else knows more.
