There was no conflict until the court became involved. If you listened to the first hour of Levin today he read verbatum the author of the citizenship porvision of the 14th Amendment.If it didn not cover the Indians or any one else not under the juristiction of the US government (the illegals) there is no case to be made for birthright citzenship for noncitizens

Levin was likely was touching on Elk v. Wilkins 112 U.S. 94 (1884)

Where SCOTUS judge Horace Gray contradicted himself later in his erroneous Wong Kim Ark decision.

I didn’t say there was a conflict. I said IF THERE IS A CONFLICT the amendment would supersede the original. Whether there is a conflict is a separate issue.
