“In amity” means in friendship with the government. The 14th used the phrase: “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,”. It meant the same thing.
Please explain how you have come to the conclusion that they mean the same thing?

It would be interesting to see a birther try a court case arguing that Obama Sr was either not here in amity...
Why do that when it's so much easier to show that natural born citizenship can't be passed from a transitional alien to their offspring.

...(I believe he was deported or encouraged by the US government to leave) or that he was here temporarily at the bidding of a foreign government...

The man was not here "at the bidding" of any government. Individual people helped him with his tuition and scholarship, not any government. He was given a student visa under @USC 8 which grants student visas to visiting alien students. Any child born to an alien while present in the US on a student visa, no matter who the mother was, would also fall under USC 8, as that Title falls under Congress' Constitutionally granted powers on @establishing uniform rules of naturalization, and under no pretense of the imagination could the progeny of an alien be considered to be a natural born citizen.

Your portrayal of the situation is abysmal, but not unexpected.

“Why do that when it’s so much easier to show that natural born citizenship can’t be passed from a transitional alien to their offspring.”

Then try that argument, rather than arguing that there must be two citizen parents. No court will ever rule that two citizen parents are a requirement, because it isn’t true. However, being here in amity, domiciled, was a requirement - according to the Supreme Court.

Arguing he was here as a rep of a foreign government is a weak argument, but at least it doesn’t reject the law and pretend something else is the law.
