Do you support "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. "" Subject To Jurisdiction Versus Subject Of Jurisdiction "
* Colloquial Meaning For Thereof "
The term thereof in the clause " and subject to the jurisdiction thereof " includes meaning , as the phrase does not state simply " and subject to the jurisdiction " or " and subject to its jurisdiction " , though it could have been stated less colloquially as " and a subject of its jurisdiction " .
The us citizen is a subject of us jurisdiction .
A citizenship is a positive liberty of endowment , it is not a negative liberty of protection .
. Zone1 - Civis Etas Unis Sum And Subject To The Jurisdiction Thereof Clause From Us 14th Amendment .
It pretty well spells out, if your are born here or are naturalized and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, you are a citizen. It does not ask where your parents lived when they had sex, only specifying all persons born here and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. About the only ones that lets out are kids born of diplomats of foreign governments, that might not be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, even while here, as subject to diplomatic immunity.
