First of all, the 14th amendment says nothing about having to be subject to a state’s jurisdiction.

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Okay, so which state is not part of the United States?

“’First of all, the 14th amendment says nothing about having to be subject to a state’s jurisdiction.’

‘Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

I don’t think you comprehend what I was saying. No state is not a part of the United States, obviously. But there is federal territory that isn’t governed by any state. If one were to be born there, they would be under the jurisdiction of the U.S. government yet not under the jurisdiction of any state. Which is all I was getting at.
