Another aspect of the language of the 14th amendment is that if the ‘birthright’ proponents are correct, it means everything after the “and” in the amendment is superfluous. I can’t recall specifically what the legal term for it is, but the Supreme Court has ruled in the past that nothing in the Constitution is superfluous unless it has specifically been rendered moot by subsequent amendment.
