WRONG!

First, the 14th amendment has NOTHING to do with “natural born citizen” issue.

Supreme Court case
of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and
subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental
citizenship. This type of citizenship is referred to as birthright citizenship.

Your link is an article, someones OPINION!

You sir are misleading people.

The following is from the actual case!
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/169/649/

U.S. Supreme Court
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
United States v. Wong Kim Ark

No. 18

Argued March 5, 8, 1897

Decided March 28, 1898

169 U.S. 649

Syllabus

A child born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States, by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution,

“All person 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.”

Notice it says “citizens” NOT “natural born”.

Also, United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
Opinion of the Court by Associate Justice Horace Gray

“The fact, therefore, that acts of Congress or treaties have not permitted Chinese persons born out of this country to become citizens by naturalization, cannot exclude Chinese persons born in this country from the operation of the broad and clear words of the Constitution, “All persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.””

AGAIN, “citizens of the United States.”

While the term natural born citizen and natural born subject, and English common law are bandied about, in the final paragraph of his opinion, he did NOT use the term natural born citizen.
