It isn't really clear. The Court has never ruled on what "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means. It is certainly possible to interpret that as excluding those whose mother is a citizen of another country. So, for example, if the baby could be taken back to the mother's country of origin and be considered a citizen of that country the baby would not be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States and would therefore not automatically be a US citizen.

Ginsbergs crew will be on the spot.
They wipe their collectivist a$ses on constitution daily, but their hatred of Trump is monumental sence he is not an elitist insider.

Oh...it's not clearly written. Tell me exactly what "subject to the jurisdiction of" means because the way we have been doing things it doesn't mean anything and you know that's not what the intent was.
I'm actually not sure where they will come down on this. I'm sure you can define it with a Congressional action, but they never have. That means it's been just a regulation...and the court could go about a dozen ways.

"Clearly written", I didn't realise you had a degree in Constitutional Law. I imagine that the scores of legal experts who advice the government know far more than you. If the proposal is unconstitutional then the Judges will say so.
