14th Amendment and Citizenship Explained

Historically the 14th Amendment has been misinterpreted and misapplied since it came
into existence. The 14th Amendment is not the only definition of citizenship.

The 14th Amendment of the Constitution, says

"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Under the 14th Amendment, if the mother and father are not US citizens, then the baby is
not a US citizen, even if the birth occurred in the USA. True, the 14th Amendment, says
if a person is born in the USA they can be a US citizen, however the birth must also meet
the *jurisdiction* requirements of the 14th Amendment.

The 14th Amendment requires the birth to occur within one of the United States.
Jurisdiction is conferred by territory and blood.
It takes the blood of a man and woman to conceive a child.
Therefore, the 14th Amendment places 3 requirements on the birth (Soil)+(Mother)+
(Father).

Jurisdiction I -- Birth within the US

A child born in one of the states united under the US Constitution, is subject to the
territorial state laws of the state (locum, jus solis) and the USA (locum, jus solis), but also
under the joint jurisdiction of his mother's (personam, jus sanguinis) nationality and his
father's (personam, jus sanguinis) nationality.
1. If one parent has US nationality, then the child is a dual citizen, but still a citizen.
2. If both parents have US nationality, then the child is a natural born US citizen,
meeting Article 2.
3. If neither parent has US nationality, then the child is the nationality of the parents,
with a birthplace in the state.

Jurisdiction II -- Birth outside the US

A child not born in one of the states united under the US Constitution, is subject to the
territorial laws of the country (locum, jus solis), but may not be under jurisdiction of the
USA (locum, jus solis). If one or both parents are US citizens, US Codes will apply. The
joint jurisdiction of the mother's (personam, jus sanguinis) nationality and the father's
(personam, jus sanguinis) nationality, will affect the determination of the child's
nationality.
1. If one parent has US nationality, then the child is a dual citizen, but still a citizen,
under US Codes in effect.
2. If both parents have US nationality, then the child is a natural born US citizen.
3. If neither parent has US nationality, then the child is the nationality of the parents,
with a birthplace in the country of birth.
