No, it says "children of parents."

No, you got part of the phrase wrong and you left out the full phrase.

"Children of citizens of the United States".

Furthermore, it specifically references fathers.

Understood.

In that case the Founders got it wrong. I believe the present day court would resolve that with the 14th amendment.

That literally made no difference for you.

lol

I believe the present day court would resolve that with the 14th amendment.

14th amendment does nothing for those born overseas, nor does it change how natural born citizens are, well, born.

I think you don't want to go there. 14th amendment has two options.

- born in the US and subject to the jurisdiction
- naturalized in the US and subject to the jurisdiction
