,,iv  #aafth ,,congress  #ast ,session  
,h4 ,,res4 #adj  ,,in ,,the ,,house ,,of
 ,,representatives  ,february #bb1      
#bjai,mr4 ,babin submitted the following
 resolution2 which was referred to the  
,committee on the ,judiciary            
,,resolution  ,calling on the ,president
 to resume the interpretation of section
 #a of the #adth ,amendment to the      
,constitution as originally intended and
 applied as law for a century4  ,whereas
 the language of the #adth ,amendment to
 the ,constitution is recognized as     
vital for its contributions to civil    
rights law1 due process1 and equal      
protection under the law2 ,whereas the  
first sentence of section #a of the     
#adth ,amendment to the ,constitution   
was intended to assure that no ,state   
could deny fair and due citizenship to  
any formerly enslaved person domiciled  
in the ,united ,states2 ,whereas the    
jurisdiction clause of the #adth        
,amendment was specifically included to 
modify and clarify all persons born or  

naturalized in the ,united ,states2     
,whereas the words subject to the       
jurisdiction thereof1 as written in     
section #a of the #adth ,amendment to   
the ,constitution1 meant not owing any  
allegiance to another foreign power2    
,whereas an illegal alien1 upon setting 
foot into this ,nation1 cannot meet the 
requirement of section #a of the #adth  
,amendment to reside in a ,state2       
,whereas being born on ,united ,states  
soil by parents who are illegally inside
 the country and therefore not under the
 legal jurisdiction of the ,united      
,states does not qualify a person as a  
citizen of these ,united ,states but of 
the nation to which the mother or father
 hold citizenship2 ,whereas if a person 
is present in the ,united ,states       
illegally1 a child born in the ,united  
,states to that parent would owe        
allegiance to that foreign power which  
has jurisdiction over that parent2      
,whereas interpretation of section #a of
 the #adth ,amendment devolved in the   

latter half of the #bjth century away   
from the original intent and clear      
meaning upon ratification of the        
amendment2 ,whereas the first sentence  
of section #a of the #adth ,amendment to
 the ,constitution has been manipulated 
and abused by illegal aliens to unfairly
 gain citizenship for their children and
 incentivizes illegality2 ,whereas      
ending the practice of automatically    
extending citizenship to children born  
in the ,united ,states by a mother in   
the country illegally and therefore not 
under the jurisdiction of the ,united   
,states should not require an additional
 constitutional amendment2 ,whereas     
those in the ,united ,states illegally  
are subject to our laws by their        
presence within our border1 but are not 
subject to the more complete            
jurisdiction envisioned by the #adth    
,amendment as a precondition for        
automatic citizenship2 ,whereas the     
,supreme ,court has never held that     
children born on ,united ,states soil to

 parents who are in the country         
illegally should automatically receive  
citizenship2 ,whereas a sovereign nation
 has the right to determine its own     
qualifications for citizenship2 ,whereas
 only #cj sovereign nations recognize a 
form of birthright citizenship1         
including only two1 the ,united ,states 
and ,canada1 classified by the          
,international ,monetary ,fund as first 
world countries2 ,whereas during this   
century three sovereign nations1        
,ireland1 ,new ,zealand1 and ,australia1
 have ended their practice of birthright
 citizenship2 and ,whereas section #e of
 the #adth ,amendment explicitly        
delegates to ,congress the right to     
determine how the provisions of the     
amendment are to be applied3 ,now1      
therefore1 be it  ,that the ,house of   
,representatives-- 7#a7 calls upon the  
,government of the ,united ,states to   
return to the proper1 original1 and     
intended interpretation of section #a of
 the #adth ,amendment1 taking into      

account the jurisdiction clause2  7#b7  
disapproves of birthright citizenship   
and intends to pursue legislative       
measures if necessary to ensure the     
practice is appropriately ended2  7#c7  
supports the directives of the ,trump   
,administration to properly interpret   
section #a of the #adth ,amendment and1 
if necessary1 seek judicial             
clarification as to the intent of the   
language of the amendment2 and  7#d7    
will seek1 if necessary1 a legislative  
solution to end birthright citizenship4
