"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" are NOT Bingham's words. But these are:
"find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, "that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen

But these are:
Great. But they mean absolutely nothing with regard to the citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as he never wrote it. Nor were those words even spoken about the citizenship clause.
So explain to me, how exactly do Bingham's words here, speaking of something other than the citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which he didn't even write in the first place, determine the intent of the person who actually did write the citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment?
