Virginia Minor did not need the 14th. Presidents did not need the 14th until Obama was elected. But, the problem is, the NBC clause was never amended. We added the 14th to naturalize children of immigrants. This is why Obama has had several legal citizenships. He needed naturalization. This is why our own government couldn't figure out if he was a citizen when he came back from Indonesia.
Mr. Obama is an example of a Cluster-Fluck of citizenships.
Wasn’t the 14th to actually ‘fix’ the problem that some of the Southern States would not grant state-level citizenship t the freed slaves? And it purpose was to fix these issues still left over from the civil war and slavery?
Was the unintended by-product was ‘anchor babies’?
Sorry, have to pick a nit with you. We added the 14th to naturalize former Slaves, (not immigrants) who had no claim to citizenship through jus sanguinus.
