There's no need to amend the Constitution.

The 14th Amendment is fine just as written.

If you use the definitions of those words as published in the Encyclopedia Britannica and Webster's, the children of illegal aliens are not citizens.

Please source the definitions that you are using and where they come from.

The definitions I posted say very clearly "IN LAW"!!!

How can you continue to claim different?

Is black's legal dictionary suitable?

Black's Law Dictionary (8th ed. 2004), domicile

DOMICILE

domicile (dom-<>-sIl), n. 1. The place at which a person has been physically present and that the person regards as home; a person's true, fixed, principal, and permanent home, to which that person intends to return and remain even though currently residing elsewhere. • A person has a settled connection with his or her domicile for legal purposes, either because that place is home or because the law has so designated that place. -- Also termed permanent abode. [Cases: Domicile 1. C.J.S. Domicile §§ 2-3, 5, 11.] "By domicile we mean home, the permanent home; and if you do not understand your permanent home, I am afraid that no illustration drawn from foreign writers or foreign languages will very much help you to it." Whicker v. Hume [1858] 7 H.L.C. 124, 160 (per Lord Cranworth).

Black's Law Dictionary (8th ed. 2004), residence

RESIDENCE

residence. 1. The act or fact of living in a given place for some time . 2. The place where one actually lives, as distinguished from a domicile . • Residence usu. just means bodily presence as an inhabitant in a given place; domicile usu. requires bodily presence plus an intention to make the place one's home. A person thus may have more than one residence at a time but only one domicile. Sometimes, though, the two terms are used synonymously. Cf. DOMICILE (2).
