“Representative John Bingham of Ohio, considered the father of the 14th Amendment”
Bingham also said this on March 28th, 1868
“Who does not know that every person born within the limits of the Republic is, in the language of the Constitution, a natural-born citizen.”
He said this almost two years after the 14th Amendment had been passed in Congressand sent to the states for ratification. Seventeen states had ratified by the time Bingham said this.

Rep. John Bingham
Who does not know that every person born within the limits of
the Republic is, in the language of the Constitution, a natural
born citizen? Who does not know, therefore, that all the
natural-born persons in the United States, men, women,
and children, are citizens of the United States?
What was formerly available at Library of Congress (LOC) has been moved to
https://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20211111045023/https://memory.loc.gov/ammem/amlaw/lwcg.html
The LOC version is essentially trashed at this time. Searching and navigation
is essentially broken. I found an image link for which I could not use
TinyURL to shorten it — because TinyURL reported it could not use links
longer than 320,000 characters. Yes, an image link exceeded three hundred
twenty thousand characters. Needless to say, it works slower than the Soviet
workers who explained that they make believe they pay us and we make
believe we work.
“Who does not know that every person born within the limits of the Republic is, in the language of the Constitution, a natural-born citizen.” Bingham is correct as far as he goes. Natural-born Citizens are born within the limits of the Republic, as are 14A §1 birthright citizens.

Read my tagline. He said this. It is further clarification of exactly what he meant.
