I’m a scholar of the Constitution. “Subject to the jurisdiction” is simply meant to exclude a very narrow set of people, such as children of foreign diplomats. This argument put forth by the President is basically a non-starter.

Coolsies. I'm a scholar of the Constitution as well. Having read the writings of the guy who wrote that law, as well as the context of the law when it was written, there is no "narrow scope" to what it means. It means what it means, if you're a citizen of another country then the child does not become a citizen of the US.

That's it.

And if the Swamp chooses to rule otherwise, adding to its long train of abuses and usurpations, the People always have 1776 as an option.
