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. 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.

So why did WKA need the 14th? He wasn’t a slave, was he?

We do agree that the 14th was created to Naturalize. We are picking nits.
Obama needed the 14th to become a citizen. Otherwise he is simply a British citizen. He is a “14th” anchor baby.

You are correct on original intent of the 14th. Original intent bars US citizenship to our Kenyan President.
