"Citizenship Clause," Sect. 1, 14th Amendment
Re:GOP mulls ending birthright citizenship: "The anchor baby fiasco must be stopped."
In 1865, 27 of 36 states ratified the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery. This included 10 of 11 southern states. The original Constitution did not recognize negroes as citizens, so in order to accomplish this and other objectives the 14th Amendment was proposed.
Because most southern states objected to the terms, the northern states refused to seat 22 Senators and 58 Representatives from the southern states. The northern states passed, over President Johnson's veto, the Reconstruction Acts, which placed southern states under military rule, replacing the original legislative body by a group of individuals willing to ratify the 14th Amendment.
The amendment was certified as being adopted by Secretary of State William Seward in spite of the fact (1) the joint resolution was not submitted to or adopted by a Constitutional Congress, (2) the joint resolution was not submitted to the President, and (3) the proposed 14th amendment was never ratified by 3/4 of the states as required by Article V of the U.S. Constitution.
Hence, the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is null and void. Therefore, all babies born under the guise of this amendment are not citizens for that reason. It should be noted that Jacob Howard, author of the "citizenship clause" defined the citizens as being all other persons, but not those who are foreigners, aliens, and those who belong to families of ambassadors or foreign ministers.
How can the courts misinterpret that definition, unless they have ulterior motives?
How can the government continue to perpetuate such a lie?
Congress does not need a Constitutional Amendment.. Do they have the political will?
