14th Amendment

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

That is very clear. Any bill that attempts to change subvert the constitution should be considered null. For Ron Paul to introduce legislation that ignores the constitution seemingly destroys his own argument against the WOT.

Wrong. The Fourteenth is not so absolute as many think.

It does not apply to illegals and foreigners.

Rep. Nathan Deal [R-GA] had 87 co-sponsors for his H.R. 698 [109th]: Citizenship Reform Act of 2005 (GovTrack.us) in 2005.

His initial sponsors in 2005: "Mr. BURTON of Indiana, Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia, Mr. GINGREY, Mr. KINGSTON, Mr. ROHRABACHER, Mr. SMITH of Texas, Mr. JONES of North Carolina, Mr. NORWOOD, Mr. BAKER, Mr. BARTLETT of Maryland, Mr. DUNCAN, Mr. GARRETT of New Jersey, Mr. GOODE, Mr. MANZULLO, Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California, and Mr. TANCREDO".

It didn't move. He has it back again this year too!

..., and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,...

How can the offspring of those present in the U.S., but subject to a foreign power, be subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S.?

Please see Section 5 of the article.

If Congress weren’t the eunuch's club it has become, they’d do something to right that misinterpretation.
