Because no one in a position to do so made any attempt. And, that is because they're all to some degree hostile, quietly or openly, to the concept of Constitutional citizenship by birth (as opposed to Constitutional citizenship at birth ... big difference there).
All the cites of the 14th Amendment in the world don't make it other than lex soli. Natural born citizen status cannot be conferred by statute.
IMO as I tried to explain it's because we did not have to. We trusted and knew each other. It was not an issue. Though I believe that Goldwater was born in the territory of Arizona. And yes there were lying rascals but they were our lying rascals.
I was trying to say in effect that the Democratic Party has been taken over by revolutionaries who have moved beyond being Americans and they have moved from the streets and campuses to the White House and Congress.
Their revolution can now be from the top down.
They are the reason we must now "trust but verify."
