"I would think that Resident Aliens with Green Cards would be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States since they are allowed to live here with the approval of the Federal Government."

Green Card holders would not be included either. Why? Because they are not fully and only subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. They are still under the jurisdiction of their original/native country.

If the 14th applied to Green Card holders, who are here lawfully, the 14th would also apply to ambassadors (for example), as they too are here lawfully.

Original Intent.

We must look to the framers, and what they actually said, for what they meant by the words they used in the amendment. Not what someone thinks they meant 100 years later.

Their words, and their intent is fully documented.

Exactly. And if it meant what the left said, why were individuals born to native parents, even off reservation, not citizens. Till Congress legislated in the 1920s.
