Did the 14th refer to those related to slaves?
I don’t think it had anything to do with just anybody.

Why don’t you go read the amendment yourself?

The arguments over who is and who isn’t a citizen have been going on for quite a while. Most were resolved before WWI.

The arguments over natural born citizenship was supposedly satisfied in 1960 when Gov.George Romney, Republican of Michigan ( father of Millard, or Mitt Romney), was told by lawyers he wasn’t eligible to run for President because he was born in Mexico of U.S. citizen parents. Sen.Barry Goldwater was born in the Arizona Territory but that was acceptable because that territory was considered by SCOTUS as an incorporated territory attached to the U.S.
