I think the merit of the question is now to be decided, whether the gentleman is eligible to a seat in this house or not, but it will depend on the decision of a previous question, whether he has been seven years a citizen of the United-States or not.
It were to be wished, that we had some law adduced more precisely defining the qualities of a citizen or an alien; particular laws of this kind, have obtained in some of the states; if such a law existed in South-Carolina,
It wouldn't apply here as the office of President and VP are the ONLY ones that list as criteria "Natural born citizen".
The point is that James Madison considered place of birth as “the most certain” criterion of allegiance, and that he said that is what applied in the United States. That statement sure sounds to me like James Madison did not feel foreign citizenship of a parent was an issue of divided allegiance.
