I refuse to be boxed in by language that you, yourself, obviously do not understand.
The phrase about “allegiance” is SPECIFICALLY placed in the Amendment to take care of the children of DIPLOMATS and other similar circumstances.
I refuse to answer yes or no to stupid questions.
I define a stupid question as a question that is not understood by the person asking the question.

So are you stating that these two quotes below by the 14th Amendment author regarding U.S. citizen parents of natural born citizens owing allegiance to NO foreign sovereignties is stupid?

“All from other lands, who by the terms of [congressional] laws and a compliance with their provisions become naturalized, are adopted citizens of the United States; all other persons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural born citizens. Gentleman can find no exception to this statement touching natural-born citizens except what is said in the Constitution relating to Indians.” (Cong. Globe, 37th, 2nd Sess., 1639 (1862))

“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.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))

The father of the 14th Amendment was not talking about children of diplomats and other similar circumstances. Learn to read. He states specifically:

“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.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))

You understand what ‘Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States’ means right?
