“Children of diplomats are explicitly exempted from ‘birthright’ citizenship ***under the 14th Amendment***”

Not explicit under 14A.

[Flash Bazbeaux]

Yes, it’s explicit. “Subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is right there in the text. Children of diplomats, during the time of the parents’ accreditation, are not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States...”

Diplomats (and their families) are not subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. or the states. They enjoy ‘diplomatic immunity’. They cannot be tried for any crime they might commit. We can only tell them to leave.
