I don't think anyone sufficiently addressed the obvious flaw in the XO as I read it... The 14th uses the phrase "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof " and then proceeds to exclude all children of non-citizens as if they are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the U.S. Lots of talk around domiciles and allegiance, but nothing on whether U.S. jurisdiction applies.

This makes no sense to me - aside from diplomats, how the heck does U.S. jurisdiction not apply to non-citizens?
