[@peterhobson3262]

As soon as I heard "it's never been tested in court" I immediately thought of United States v Wong Kim Ark 169 U.S. 649 (1898). Wong Kim Ark was born in San Francisco in 1873 to Chinese parents who were legally residing in the United States. When he was a teenager, his parents returned to China. After visiting his family in China, Wong Kim Ark was denied re-entry into the United States because he was not considered a U.S. citizen. He sued the United States for citizenship by birth. The Supreme Court ruled 6-to-2 in favor of Wong Kim Ark, affirming that he was a U.S. citizen by birthright under the Fourteenth Amendment. The ruling protected U.S.-born descendants of immigrants from being denied citizenship. I learned about this case when I took a Constitutional Law course as an undergraduate in college.

[@debbieg8951]

Thanks, Peter. I was not familiar with the case, and I found your brief summary very interesting and informative.

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

I've forgotten now where I first read about that case (possibly in a Government class in college), but I was aware of it.

[@goodun2974]

This brings up both a question and an interesting fact; Q: Did the ninth Justice recuse or was this case decided in an era where we only had 8 Justices? (Biden could and probably should appoint a half-dozen more Justices, right now!). Fact: Nowhere does the Constitution say that you must be an American citizen in order to be Supreme Court Justice, nor must you be an attorney or have had any kind of legal training! The only prohibition I am aware of is that you cannot draw a federal salary if you're not a citizen, but in theory a non legally trained, non citizen could indeed be appointed to the Supreme Court as long as he, she or they served pro-bono and didn't take a salary.

[@vikingdragon2764]

The process of becoming a US citizen as someone not born in the USA takes up quite a while. It hasn't been for a very long time that you can become a citizen as soon as you marry an American citizen, nor when you give birth in the USA. While Barron was immediately a citizen when born on US soil it doesn't make the mom instantly a US citizen. There's a lot of hoops to go through to get a permanent residency status (aka Green Card), even when in a profession that is highly needed in the USA. When I finished my RN, BSN in the States, it took about a year and a half in order for me to get my Advanced Parole (not making this up, this is a document stating that you can leave the USA and return on the Work Visa ) ) and it took about 4 years to finally get my Green Card. After you have a Green Card for 8 years, you can start to apply for citizenship only reason it went so quickly for her was money! It also requires you to give up the nationality you were born with... so as Melanie is a US citizen, she can't be deported. If birthright citizenship would mean that the mother becomes a citizen, there wouldn't be a lot of illegal immigrants as it would automatically mean that all the women who immigrate and give birth to a child, would become legal citizens.

Long-time listener, first-time caller from Poland here. My ex was born in the US, but is not a US citizen, as her father was a Polish diplomat i.e. “subject to foreign power”. It’s actually a significant problem for her now: because her birthplace is “Queens, NY”, she’s automatically assumed (by banks etc.) to be an American citizen subject to US taxation… She ends up having to prove she’s not American, which is not easy: there’s no such thing as “certificate of non-citizenship”…

[@ArchaicAnglist]

Does Poland's equivalent of the US Department of State not issue documentation for Polish citizens born outside Poland? That's how the US handles this situation: when, say, a US citizen/Air Force member gives birth in, say, Germany, she applies to the nearest US embassy or consulate, which issues a document that from then on serves as the child's legal US birth certificate.

[@shawnr771]

Interesting.

[@MarkAdams-c9q]

The problem is how to prove you are not an American citizen, even though you were born in the US? Technically you can hold both the US and EU citizenships, they are not mutually exclusive… Since US citizenship is automatically granted to pretty much anyone born in the States, it’s almost impossible to prove you are one of the exceptions to the 14th amendment… Anyway, this was just to point out some unusual consequences of US birthright citizenship.

good night, OutdoorLonghair. Pleasant dreams.

[@davidrichardson4131]

Thank you for the update on why people should learn about history

[@heiner71]

Dollars to Donuts, the message spelled "YOUR wrong, wrong, wrong...".

[@pauldahill4386]

Excellent!! Keep kicking their butts, Belle of the Ranch!!!

[@margaretnicol3423]

So lovely to see Dick Van Dyke at age 99 in the new Coldplay music video. Whatever is happening out there - the world moves on and lives its life.

[@sarchizm]

Dang just realized I forgot what Beau looks like. :( Anywho, loving the new channel and all the changes!

[@kensmith5694]

BLAM!

The other obvious catogory for somone born in the US but not subject to the juristriction thereof is children of ambasidors or foreign military forces posted to the USA at the time of the birth

[@margaretnicol3423]

You're swearing again! You must stop using the 'R' word. You know - Reading!!! Oooh! Now you've made me say it. 👿🤣

[@theelderbrain]

Reading is for the devil! I only listen to raving old men with burning bushes!

[@GreenLarsen]

bad word, might even make one learn stuff. Do she not realise that is how one broaden ones horizon and risk becoming educated? And now look at all those bad words I had to type out uff

[@annphillips1086]

See, that's what happens when you teach women to read. They get all full of themselves like they know stuff. And for heaven's sake don't let them near the internet.

[@chocol8milk]

It’s both sad and scary because people like the person who wrote that email vote, further explains why the next 4 years will be crazy.

[@JohnWilliams-cr2sz]

I really want to thank you for these videos, Belle. Like, I am still super concerned about the next four years, they are gonna suck. But the way your breaking down and explaining things, and pointing out how Trump probably won't be able to do ALL of the awful stuff he's talked about has really helped keep me in a somewhat stable mental state.

[@patriciametzler5989]

Love ya Belle!

[@lisaferguson1885]

I have to admit I don't do well with change. I found this channel about 2 years ago and followed Beau faithfully. Needless to say when he retired and I found out someone else was going to be doing it Ifelt sure that it wasn't going to measure up to what Beau had done. I'm happy to say boy was I wrong. Belle I love listening to you as much as I did Beau. Thank you for taking over and remaining a voice of reason during these chaotic times!!!

[@timmcgurl]

RIGHT ON, Belle! That was a perfectly executed and "well‐deserved" Smile at the end of this Video, Belle! Very, very well‐deserved, to boot!

[@brandonwilliams957]

Belle always brings facts and receipts to her channel.

[@gadzilla6664]

Another member of the Dunning Krueger Club destroyed by Belle. I wonder if she keeps track of the number of people she's educated?😂

[@melissaverduin3693]

Thank you Belle! Love your knowledge & commentary!

[@teslafistforge8716]

the main problem is enforcement. trump is fully capable of breaking the constitution to achieve his goals. when he does this, someone actually has to stand up and call him out but the way i see it, very few in congress seem willing to do that.

[@amann2547]

Republicans really, really, love to quote written documents they've never really read in full.

[@geebanger68]

The problem with the U.S. Constitution is that certain people pick and choose the ones they like and try to get rid of the ones they don’t like and you have certain people who try to pick and choose who has the rights to it and who don’t

[@imayb1]

I love the letters that start out saying, "Wrong, wrong, wrong" ... because it's always so true-- in its reverse.

[@nonnyena4267]

To the Watcher challenging Belle on her previous video for "explaining" the 14th Amendment, which she obviously hasn't read: You should know from previous videos how this is gonna go. I should pity you, but i just can't stop laughing long enough to reach that emotion... _"Stupid"_ lacking the ability to learn. _"Masochist":_ telling this channel " Read more."😂 Damn! That's funny!

[@alanhenderson53]

❤🎉❤ Please keep the Snark 😊😅😊 Right now, we need it more then ever! ❤🎉😊😅

[@krismodrow3993]

Yes that is cool! I love your content! I particularly love the way you deliver it😂

[@MrBswede]

It's sad that so many people just spout off things like "you should read more" when, if they had read a little more, they would see the basic facts. I would almost guarantee that those same people will still not be persuaded to see the truth of it.

[@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet]

Reading the amendment explains the amendment. Who knew?
