The 14th Amendment has nothing whatsoever to do with the natural born citizen clause of the U.S. Constitution, despite all the fevered efforts to twist the law like a super pretzel to perpetrate a fraud. The natural born citizen clause was written for the specific purpose of restricting the Office of the President and Vice President only to those persons who never owed allegiance to any sovereign other than the Citizens of the United States. Rubio and Jindal were born with allegiance to foreign sovereigns, hence they cannot qualify as natural born citizens for the purposes intended by the authors of the Constitution. These improper attempts to re-write the Constitution and the intent of the authors of the Constitution without going through the Amendments of the Constitution are inherently subversive of Constitutional government and the rule of law protecting the Citizens of the United States against usurpment of their individual and collective sovereignty.

Whiskey, I agree with you regarding Jindal, but I disagree regarding Rubio.

Rubio was born years after his parents arrived in the US. His mother was already a naturalized citizen by then, and his father had appeared before a magistrate.

Had they been operating under the immigration law of 1792 they would have been citizens. If we are to use the 18th century understanding of “natural born”, then we should use the 18th century law of naturalization.
