@ootmaster1 Let's recap. According to Senator Jacob Howard:
"Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."
How would a foreigner be born in the United States? Are we talking about "anchor babies"? I see, so a child born to a foreigner who did not become a legal, naturalized citizen wouldn't be a U.S. citizen. The problem with that is that the Fourteenth Amendment excluded "untaxed Indians," i.e. Native Americans living on reservations. The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 granted citizenship to all Native Americans, including those born on tribal lands. But the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted in 1868, meaning that in those 56 years, a Native American couple could travel to one of the states in the Union, have a child, and still be considered an "alien," legally speaking. So am I missing something or was excluding Native Americans from citizenship also Howard's intent?
