The 14th amendment states clearly that anyone born in the US and who is under US jurisdiction is a citizen. It doesn't matter what some dead guy's opinion is if it does not match the words of the Constitution of the United States or US citizenship laws.

Two points.

1. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. It over rides any Federal or State "citizenship" laws in conflict with it.

2. The 14th amendment, if interpreted correctly requires that the parents of children owe no allegiance to any foreign state.

The 14th amendment would be more properly titled "The Freed Slaves Citizenship act", for that was EXACTLY what it's intended purpose was. It did not repeal Article II.

They don't. Please read the citizenship laws (as I linked to earlier) and you will see.

The 14th amendment, if interpreted correctly requires that the parents of children owe no allegiance to any foreign state.

Except it makes no such statement. We have to go with what the amendment says. On top of that, the president's mother is a US citizen, and with him being born in Hawaii, there's simply no way to show under existing law that he is not a citizen by birth.

The 14th did not include Indians either.
