Birthright citizenship is only supposed apply to those who fall completely under the jurisdiction of the United States; - which means not owing allegiance to anyone else. See Elk vs. Wilkins. As well as what the Framers themselves discussed when attempting to pass the amendment through Congress.

They merely wanted to enshrine into Constitutional law what was already in effect as federal law via the 1866 Civil Rights Act.

I stand corrected, I remember reading about that same case and explication.

It really does wonder the mind how we ever came to think it ment simply being born in a US State.

The power crazed nut-jobs that crammed thou the 14th amendment and the associated 1866 Civil Rights acts were to impassioned by their cause to take more care in insuring the effect they had intended.

Honestly I don’t believe the 14th amendment was ever legitimately passed seeing as Ohio and other States retracted their ratification(After elections on the matter) prior to reaching the required 3/4th number only to have that retraction ignored by the The Federal Congress Counting the radifications.

I also find it invalid because many of the necessary State ratification came from State legislators selected and operating under the guns of ‘union’ Soldures and not the free will of their people.
