The 14th Amend defines “citizens”. It makes no mention of “natural born citizen”.

So what you are saying is that even though the 14th Amendment granted former slaves Citizenship, they were still second class citizens because they would not have been eligible for the office of President or Vice President.

Do you really believe that?

BTW the 14th Amendment does not "define" citizenship. It merely declares it.
