Consistency is no substitute for accuracy. It doesn’t matter what the Founders wanted. That’s why we have an amendment process. The 14th essentially overruled any desire of the founders. They put the amendment process in the Constitution because they knew that times could change, and they wanted the people to have a remedy to make changes to the document.

The 14th AMENDMENT did not address Article 2 and Natural Born citizenship.
