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.

Well then, that means that the ‘birthers’ will have to construct a scenario where Obama Sr. was not a student, but rather the Kenyan Ambassador to Hawaii.

But Damn, there is still that Mama Obama Problem!

Okay, just maybe there was a problem with the way Kansas was admitted to the Union.

If Kansas was not correctly admitted to the Union, Kansas is not a state and Mama Obama was not an American but rather a subject of the Republic of Kansas.
