From another goat. Thanks=) Senator Jacob Howard worked closely with Abraham Lincoln in drafting and passing the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which abolished slavery. He also served on the Senate Joint Committee on Reconstruction, which drafted the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. In 1866, Senator Jacob Howard clearly spelled out the intent of the 14th Amendment by writing: Every person born within the limits of the  United States, and subject to their jurisdiction,  is by virtue of natural law and national law a  citizen of the United States. This will not, of  course, include persons born in the United  States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong  to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country. ---_---------- Tldr, Trump isn't full of hot air, he most likely waited to confirm Kav. He will sign it before or after midterms, idk.  It will obviously be blocked then go to the scotus.  If Trump can pull this off, he will go down as the best president since Teddy.
