You are so right. I cannot understand why people cannot wrap their mind around what a natural born citizen is. It even says in the Amendment, children of aliens are exempt.
No, the Fourteenth Amendment does NOT state that children of aliens are exempt. It says that all persons who are born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States. The “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” language has NEVER been authoritatively interpreted as meaning that the children of aliens are not citizens under the Amendment.
