Just as an aside, next April, don't pay your taxes and then challenge the law claiming that the Federal government doesn't have the power to lay and collect taxes outside the District.

Tell me how that works out. On the bright side, I think you get free postage when you're in prison. You can write to me for free!

You know, If I'd realized you just wanted to make smart wisecracks, I certainly wouldn't have bothered with all the effort I'd put into my last post.

To properly understand the intent of the 14th Amendment, we can go to the words of Sen. Jacob Howard, the co-author of the citizenship clause, who said:

"Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."
