“he is the only President born after 1776 who did not consider himself a citizen for the US for part of his life”

Whig President John Tyler (b. 1790) was elected to the CSA Congress.

Right. I had forgotten about former President Tyler having been elected to the Confederate Congress. Of course that was after his Presidency (to which he was never elected).

I believe Tyler's father was one of the Anti-Federalist delegates to the Virginia ratifying convention in 1788, who was against the adoption of the Constitution.
