Amazing, isn’t it?

That some blockheaded dreamers actually believe
that our brave Founders, after having suffered,
bled, pledged, and in many cases, did lose lives,
families and fortunes .. and in some cases .. lost
ALL .. in fighting the greedy foreigners from Great
Britain for so many years .. would’ve so nonchalantly
excluded such a vital issue as allegiance to country
and national loyalty when considering the qualifications
for the office of chief executive of the country ?

Some people .....

The 14th Amendment, ratified in a different era and under very different circumstances altered the work of the Founders on allegiance just as the Founders were adamant that Senators not be directly elected and yet the 17th Amendment changed that.
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution moved the nation from reliance on “jus sanguinis” (right of citizenship by blood) to “jus soli” (right of citizenship by soil).

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
There is no exception in the 14th Amendment for presidents as being treated any differently than any other citizen. At least that has been the interpretation of the Supreme Court since the 19th Century.
