In 1866 the wording of the amendment was not considered vague, it had a clear meaning. It still does except for the fact that some have been allowed to twist it into something else and continue to get away with it

Uh Senator Jacob's comments on the 14th amendment had clear meaning, which he should have included in the 14th amendment but did not.

Here we go again with you not reading or understanding what's being posted and being childlessly repetitive about it. What grade are you in, the third? I'll post it one more time and maybe it'll sink in. In 1866 the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" had clear meaning, there was no need to write anymore. They understood that the phrase involved allegiance to the country.

If you're so convinced you're right then when Congress passes a new law on the issue, and no doubt they will eventually you've got nothing to worry about when it gets to the USSC.
