It's time for the Constitution originalist Justice's on the Supreme Court to set the record straight that the 14th Amendment was only created to make slaves Citizens, not natural born Citizens, at that time.

Here's a list of the executive orders and actions taken so far:

Pardons and commutations that Trump said would cover about 1,500 people criminally charged in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021
Overhauling the refugee admission program to better align with American principles and interests
Declaring a “national emergency” at the U.S.-Mexico border
Directive ending "the weaponization of political adversaries of the previous administration"
Designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations
Directive ordering the restoration of freedom of speech and preventing government censorship of speech
Withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement
Directive to federal agencies to address the cost of living crisis
Requirement that federal workers return to full-time in-person work
Federal hiring freezes - except in military and other excluded categories
Regulatory freeze "preventing bureaucrats from issuing any more regulations" until Trump has full control of the government.
Rescission of 78 Biden-era executive executive actions, executive orders, presidential memoranda and other orders his team has said he'd sign by the end of the day include a directive to bring an end to birthright citizenship, transition officials told reporters in a call ahead of the actions Monday.

We must go back to the original intent of the 14th Amendment. Which was NOT what we have today.

NO MORE BASTARDIZTION OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT!

Original intent of the 14th Amendment
Senator Jacob Howard (served on the Senate Joint Committee on Reconstruction, which drafted the 14th) clearly spelled out the intent of the 14th Amendment by stating:

"Every person born 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. 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. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country."

https://www.14thamendment.us/birthright_citizenship/original_intent.html

Sen. Lyman Trumbull, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, author of the Thirteenth Amendment, and the one who inserted the phrase (All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the States wherein they reside):

[T]he provision is, that 'all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.' That means 'subject to the complete jurisdiction thereof.' What do we mean by 'complete jurisdiction thereof?' Not owing allegiance to anybody else. That is what it means.

Sen. W. Williams:

I understand the words here, 'subject to the jurisdiction of the United States,' to mean fully and completely subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

https://www.14thamendment.us/articles/anchor_babies_unconstitutionality.html

Senator Jacob Howard states the intent of the Fourteenth Amendment published in the Congressional Record May 30, 1866.
https://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=llcg&fileName=073/llcg073.db&recNum=11

We have, at a minimum, 3 different Senators who were involved in drafting the 14th Amendment, stating on record in Congress that subject to the jurisdiction can not, does not, apply to foreigners or aliens (even if here legally).

The only thing missing for correcting the wrong introduced in the 1960's, is political will. We must do the right thing, and return to original intent of the 14th!.

If we weren’t already celebrating, I’d throw a party for this one alone! It is the true understanding of the 14th amendment. May it hold up in court.

(May it hold up in court.)

And it does, it’ll show Kamala Harris was an illegal Vice President as well as Obama.

Boy howdy, would it ever!

Clay & Buck will do well enough, but they’re behind the power curve. May have to go into extra innings with all the winning just today!

There was a time when many "civilized" nations...in Europe and elsewhere...had automatic citizenship at birth in their laws. IIRC it's called "Jus Soli"...which means "Law of the Soil". But gradually those countries changed their laws to "Jus Sanguis"...which means "Law of the Blood".

Even Ireland...which not long ago had about the most "liberal" citizenship laws of all First World countries... changed their laws recently. Why? Birth tourism. Which is what we've had for years...but hopefully no longer.

From Wiki:

“The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, (43 Stat. 253, enacted June 2, 1924) was an Act of the United States Congress that declared Indigenous persons born within the United States are US citizens. Although the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that any person born in the United States is a citizen, there is an exception for persons not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the federal government. This language was generally taken to mean members of various tribes that were treated as separate sovereignties: they were citizens of their tribal nations.”

Chinese illegals are citizens of a separate sovereignties. So are Mexican illegals, Afghan illegals, Somali illegals, Venezuelan illegals, et cetera.

Exactly right. “Subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” is the operative phrase.

Furthermore, he wouldn’t be able to cover it all within the allotted time. Winning.
