You believe the father of the 14th Amendment on citizenship was a bullsheeter?
No. As you well know, I believe you and the other birthers are “bullsheets” who take Bingham’s words out of context and misrepresent what he was saying.
This has been gone over many times before. One of these days I will probably write a thorough analysis of Bingham’s words, their context, and how they have been twisted by birthers. Specifically, birthers have interpreted “subject to no foreign sovereignty” to include people who were resident aliens, when it’s clear from other things Bingham and those around him said that that was not the intent of those words.
Which also explains why they CHANGED that wording in the 14th Amendment. It didn’t say exactly what they meant.
Suffice it to say, Bingham NEVER said that citizenship was restricted to those born on US soil of citizen parents, or that those born to non-citizen parents were generally not citizens, or anything of the sort. And it is clear from the entire context of the historical record that neither he nor any of the others who passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, or introduced the 14th Amendment, believed any such thing.
