wow, that was almost clever....wait, it was not anywhere near clever.

Just like your idea to have go through the amendment process to put in the constitution what is already there is not anywhere near logical.

And that's not just based on the fact that you're about the only person on this earth who advocates the "duplicate amendment" theory.

You mean like giving women the right to vote and the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude? Some could say these two amendments were redundant or duplicative.

I am referring to changing what is in an existing amendmen. The same held true for Prohibition. Your solution isn't working. You are depending on SCOTUS to change the laws and overrule previous rulings and precedent. Up to this very moment, citizenship is being conferred on anyone born in this country (save diplomats), which has been the case since 1868. When do you think it will be changed absent a Constitutional amendment?
