I am not referring you to the 14th Amendment. I am referring you to the fact that the father of the 14th Amendment clearly defines that to be a natural born Citizen, EVERY HUMAN BEING born MUST BE BORN WITHIN the jurisdiction of the United States OF PARENTS NOT OWING ALLEGIANCE TO ANY FOREIGN SOVEREINTY.

I would argue former attorney and House Representative John Bingham was well aware back then what a Constitutional Article 2 Section 1 natural born Citizen was.

Do you agree with the framer of the 14th Amendment? Yes or No.

No I do not agree with you.
I am not at all convinced that you are quoting the author of the 14th accurately.
If he did say what you claim, then he is clearly wrong.
However, I do not believe that the author of the 14th ever said what you claim, in the exact context you claim.

You are putting words in his mouth, the author of the 14th EXCLUDED no one with the quote you provide:

““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.”

Bingham did NOT exclude those born on foreign soil from being Natural Born Citizens, not with this quote. This is NOT exclusive language. He does not say “must”, that is YOUR language.
