"And subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was added during the amendment process to make it clear that ...Purpose of the Phrase: The phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was added to clarify that citizenship by birth in the United States applied only to those fully subject to U.S. legal authority. This excluded:
Native Americans living under tribal sovereignty (who were not considered fully subject to U.S. jurisdiction at the time).
Children born to foreign diplomats or enemy aliens, who were subject to foreign jurisdictions.
Potentially, children of temporary residents or non-citizens, though this was less clear and later debated.
Because people were smarter back then and did not "choose" to overlook wording!
Everytime I have to explain this...This is what I am thinking!
