Not being subject to US jurisdiction means they are not bound by the responsibilities that citizens have, like jury duty, getting a passport to travel outside the country, voting, etc. It does not mean you can ignore the law if you’re not a citizen. The way you are interrupting it there would be no reason to put those words in the amendment. They would mean nothing.

Why are the words there? Because there are several categories of people who would not be under the jurisdiction of the United States.

-Diplomats
-Native Americans on their tribal lands
-Enemy Combatants

The Supreme Court has ruled on this issue in many, many, many cases. And yet I see a lot of supposition and explanation of how the word “jurisdiction” means something else.

But no links or quotations from cases or law.

Just made up crap that I would expect from liberals who find things like gay marriage and abortion in the Constitution.

The Constitution is clear. We need to change the Constitution to fix this, not make up crap like liberals.
