Rep. John Bingham of Ohio, considered the father of the 14th Amendment, “ ... every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of the Constitution itself, a natural born citizen...”

Bingham ( 1868) some serious warnings:
“May God forbid by the failure of the legislative power of the people to triumph over the usurpations of an apostate President, the fabric of American empire fell and perished from the earth!... have taught us all to obey the law; that none are above the law...”

The above is paraphasing comments by Bingham

OBAMA STATED THAT HE WAS BORN WITH ALLEGIANCE TO ANOTHER NATION BY HIS DUAL CITIZSHIP AT BIRTH.
THIS ALONE WOULD DISQUALIFY HIM FROM BEING PRESIDENT

Representative Bingham was one vote in Congress and he never made it to the US Supreme Court which interprets the original intent of the 14th Amendment. As a framer of the 14th Amendment, Bingham was certainly capable of adding the words “All persons born of two citizen parents...” to the 14th Amendment’s wording. He didn’t.

From the US Supreme Court’s decision in Elk v Wilkins, 112 US 94 (1884):
“The distinction between citizenship by birth and citizenship by naturalization is clearly marked in the provisions of the constitution, by which no person, except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the office of president; and ‘the congress shall have power to establish an uniform rule of naturalization.’ Const. art. 2 Section 1; art. 1 Section 8

In “Minor v Happersett from 1874, the Supreme Court ruled:
“Additions might always be made to the citizenship of the United States in two ways: first, by birth, and second, by naturalization. This is apparent from the Constitution itself, for it provides that ‘no person except a natural born citizen,or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President,’ and that Congress shall have power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization.’ Thus new citizens may be born or they may be created by naturalization.”
