Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Above is the actual text of the 14th amendment . You took the first half of your statement ANYONE BORN IN THE U.S. from the citizenship section of the clause , then you took the second part YOU ARE SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF THE U.S. from the equal rights section of the clause. This makes it APPEAR that your citizenship is based on you following the laws instead of being born a subject( a citizen oweing allegiance) by birth to American citizens. Citizenship is based on the allegiance of the parents . This is supported by the case of Wong KIm Ark, Minor vs Happensett, and numerious others.

“Citizenship is based on the allegiance of the parents.”

Wrong. That is why we have naturalized citizens, and why a child born of immigrants is STILL an American.

You are claiming that Obama is not only not a NBC (which has a weak case), but that he is not a citizen at all - which is just stupid.
