I have no problem with amending the amendment, or if that's not possible (which I think it isn't) essentially removing it and passing a more updated version of it.
I can't really be all that much of a constitutionalist because so many of the worries and problems of today simply didn't exist back in those days.
I would vote for an amendment. People claim hatred for loopholes in tons of other laws. Anchor babies are a loophole.
I can't believe you're going from libertarian to liberal. I just can't believe it. :shock:
Leave it alone. What we need to do is change that 13th amendment I got to get **** done.
No I can't trust Congress to just fix that amendment.
Since there is no limitation on what they could add or take away from The Constitution.
This statement puzzles me since the congress is what made all of the amendments in the first place. (states too ofc)
To me, at that time, there were enough idealists to keep the morally corrupt caged.
Now, there isn't a chance in hell, that I would trust any current congress to amend it.
that definition of citizenship at section one of the 14th amendment appears to be clear cut. what would be a better way to define who does (and/or does not) enjoy American citizenship?

Simple enough. Children born with one parent who is a US citizen are automatically US citizens. Otherwise, they must undergo the naturalization process.

Apparently, the Senate will soon have hearings regarding the Fourteenth Article of Amendment to the United States Constitution. It was passed in the wake of the United States Civil War to ensure that all Blacks whose forced servitude was ended in the 1860s. Given that the world is different today and the challenges facing the Union have changed, should the amendment be changed, repealed, or left untouched?
