The 1836 act is a STATUTE to carry out the 1827 SC cession, which itself fell under the provisions of the 1805 SC statute and acted through the 1794 federal statute. Like any statute passed by a legislative body, the 1836 one can be repealed through that same body on a simple vote. SC repealed all its statutes connecting it to the US with the secession ordinance, hence the title was, in that respect, rescinded to SC.

The feds had clear title. They wouldn't agree to build the fort without clear title.
