Does it? The Founders didn’t intend for the Commerce Clause to be perverted the way it has been. Look what’s happened. That’s what you get when you aren’t clear enough. Contrast this with the 14th, where the text speaks for itself. If you’re born here then you’re a citizen.

The problem is judicial activism. Heard of it? The crux of the 14th does NOT rest in the word born, it rest in the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction’. But I wouldn't expect ignorant drones who claim to be some sort of DR to know that since they obviously haven't spent a minutia of a minute in the history books studying the subject.
