This video discusses the legal interpretation of the 14th Amendment concerning birthright citizenship, particularly in the context of children born to undocumented immigrants. Host Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney and Supreme Court Bar member, argues that the phrase 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' in the 14th Amendment implies an allegiance to the United States, not a foreign power. He connects this to the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and historical examples like Native Americans, suggesting that current interpretations have deviated from the original intent.
