And it’s also possible that law could be amended. What, for example, currently excludes the children of foreign ambassadors physically born here? It isn’t a constitutional thing. It has to be a law thing.

The Constitution can be amended but the President has no role in that process. 2/3 of both the Senate and House propose the amendment and 3/4 of the states must ratify it. You can't just pass a law negating the constitution.

That's exactly the point of the "subject to the jurisdiction" language. Foreign diplomats aren't fully subject to our laws. That's what diplomatic immunity is all about.

Ilegal aliens are.
