“I have to admit, you are getting better at sophistry.”
If so, I learned from the master. Demosthenes couldn’t outdo your syllogism:
1. no slavery, no civil war,
2. no civil war, no civil war amendments,
3. therefore, soil babies are not natural born citizens.
Did the 14th Amendment make former slaves, noncitizens, into natural born citizens, Tublecane?
Sophistry again on your number 1. No civil war no reconstruction amendments.
Civil war resulted in the "civil war amendments."
3. therefore, soil babies are not natural born citizens.
No, the 14th Amendment did not effect the meaning and intent behind the US Constitutional natural born citizen clause.
