The author of the citizenship clause, Senator Jacob M. Howard of Michigan told us exactly what the 14th Amendment means and its intended scope as he introduced it to the United States Senate in 1866.....

“What I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born here within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States.”

And now the most important part....

“This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”

Sounds like he was saying that children of foreigners and aliens will not be citizens of the United States.
