What is there to say? The 14th amendment was the most irresponsibly written amendment in the Constitution. the people who wrote and ratified it(the ones who did not have a gun to their head, IE the 11 southern States). Were irresponsible, shortsighted, overzealous idiots.

Even among that lot the amendment was only ever passed because 1 state was not allowed to rescind its foolish ratification after having held an election on the matter.

Natural born citizenship is not a type of citizenship. It is ONLY an eligibility requirement to be President of the United States. Its sole appearance in our legal system is in Article II, Section 1, of the United States Constitution.

The types of citizenship recognized by legal statute are: native born citizenship (jus solis); derived citizenship from parent(s)(jus sanguinis); or, naturalized citizenship. See: USCIS for further information.

The 14th Amendment has no impact on Article II’s eligibility requirement.

“and Don’t Be Stupid”

Too late. You already are. What a stupid thread title. Screw you and you’re stupidity! What an arrogant ass to think that if someone doesn’t agree with your childish and ignorant arguments they are simply being stupid.

I am surprised how supposed "experts" here on FR can spout on and on about Wom Kim Ark nonsense and the 14th Amendment when they have absolutely no apparent familiarity with the basic rules of legislative interpretation. Sadly, in a free republic we cannot avoid hearing their blubbering nonsense as they pontificate their falsehoods.

Couldn't follow your own headline's advice, I see....
