    or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution

    Didn’t double check but I think he wasn’t a citizen when the constitution was shipped.

    So going by the literal wording alone, he would not qualify.

        Someone else already commented that a court found that it would apply to naturalized citizens, so that is sufficient for me.

        However, the text itself says “at the time OF THE ADOPTION of this Constitution”, i.e. the specific point in time when it was adopted.
