Safrguns, just so you know, because he is hiding the ball on you, DoodleDawg's position is that the 14th amendment does not have the force of law on its own.

If it does then why the need for Section V?

But really I'm hiding nothing. But even if you are correct that the 14th Amendment has the force of law, then force of law is what gives people their citizenship. How can they be natural-born citizens under the definition given?

>>> force of law is what gives people their citizenship.

This is like saying it is the mother who decides whether and when her unborn child is a life.

Our founding fathers relied upon the law of nations to define birthright citizenship.

Another way of looking at this is to consider the bill of rights... You don’t have those rights by law... the law recognizes that you have them by default because you are a human being.
