What most people ignore is the fact that Senator Jacob Howard of Michigan played a central role in drafting and explaining the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment in 1866. His statements in the Congressional Record should be keyused to determine the original intent of the amendment. Howard made it clear that the purpose of the amendment was to grant citizenship to freed slaves and others who were legally subject to U.S. jurisdiction. Key phrase...subject to U.S. jurisdiction
Illegals are under jurisdiction to a foreign nation.
this is correct! the clause was directed at "freed slaves" and others. never was it intended for immigrant offspring to become automatic citizens upon birth in THIS country. this is an ''abomination" and a direct "insult" on an "unprecedented" scale to every "legitimate tax payer" in this nation. to be truthful,this is,AND HAS BEEN an "outrage" from the very beginning.
