The debates took place BEFORE the 14th Amendment was passed.

NO SHIT SHERLOCK! Tell me something I don't know.

Are you going to tell me that the debates didn't SHAPE the Amendment?

You are citing USC 8 in regard to people born OUTSIDE the United States.

WHOA there, @boy, don't go putting words in my mouth.
You post what I wrote and THEN comment. Don't go saying "You said..." and then it's another of your lies.
I referenced USC 8, I didn't cite it or anything within it. This...62..was my reference.

I cited nothing. You've intentionally inserted something into the conversation.

Here is my only other reference to USC 8...50, my first reply on the thread.

“Are you going to tell me that the debates didn’t SHAPE the Amendment?”

No, debates almost always shape laws. And then the laws are written and passed. And the laws are written in these thingies called, “words.” And words have meanings, like “all persons.” Which is how the 14th was passed. ALL PERSONS.

Do you think the 14th Amendment had an ending date? If so, why was that not mentioned in the Amendment?
