"In 1866, John A. Bingham, chief framer of 14th amendment wrote: “every human being born within the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of the Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.”

That's funny. When I have read the 14th Amendment, I did not see where Bingham included those words in the text of the amendment.

Not only that, but when you realize that "not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty" is just another way of saying "under the jurisdiction", it's totally consistent with the 14th.

And that doesn't help the birthers at all, because "under the jurisdiction" has a defined meaning, and it doesn't mean two citizen parents.
