When I was in 2nd grade we had one of those workbook exercises where you had to match a question with an answer by drawing a line across two columns. I knew the answer to question 5 was C, but my line pointed somewhere between C and D. My teacher marked it wrong. "But I meant to draw it to C!" I said. "But you didn't!" she replied.
No. Given the manifestly simple language of the 14th Amendment, its authors' intent means nothing.
Therefore, by your logic, the intent of your reply is irrelevant.
A clear and cogent example, well done.
