If it says that then there would be no question. The Constitution doesn’t say that however. There are two huge words in law. They are “and” and “or”. Whenever there is an “and” and more than one requirement or element of that law, all requirements must be met. So if a law, amendment or other statute says, “This, that AND the other thing, all three elements must be met or the law doesn’t apply. If the law/Constitution/statute/whatever says “or” in the same type of situation, any one of the elements is sufficient. So if a law says “This, that OR the other thing”, any one of them stands alone. The Fourteenth Amendment says: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States Note that it says AND and not OR. It says born or naturalized AND subject to its jurisdiction. It would be clear if they didn’t throw that little AND in there. That is a point often ignored like it was an afterthought that didn’t matter. Ignored apparently is Elk v. Wilkins which I have already mentioned. Elk was born in US territory and an Indian reservation. So a Native American born on American soil. No question right? Not so fast. The US Supreme Court said that he was not a US citizen at birth. Even though born on US soil, he was subject to the jurisdiction of another country. That would be the Winnebago Indians. Being from a foreign country (in the US no less) but being born on US soil did not make a Native American an American. That decision has not been overturned. Did the US Congress believe that he and other Native Americans were born as Americans even born in this country? Apparently not because under their authority over immigration and naturalization in Article I of the Constitution, in 1924 passed the Indian Citizenship Act. Let that sink in. After WWI, the US enacted a law that finally made Native Americans citizens if they were born in the US. Did we grasp that? In 1924, almost 60 years after the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified, Americans born on American soil could finally claim citizenship at birth. Feel free to point out the federal law passed by Congress that made people subject to a foreign government’s jurisdiction, citizens at birth? I’ll wait…… On another note, I think the Supreme Court will throw up their collective hands and simply ignore Elk and say being born here makes a person a citizen. If only the Constitution said anyone born on US soil was an American as you claimed, it would have been settled 100 years ago.

He identifies as black, like Kamala. Since when did experience matter to you? -
I think EC at 4 may be a bit of a stretch. And for Hardin to beat EC, which I understand has not happened since Obama was elected the first time, would also be a tall order. On top of that, the game is in Winnie. With all that said, give me the Bucs in 2nd, Hardin 3rd and AP to rally into the 4 spot.

Was he hired just because he was white? He definitely doesn't have any experience. -

Your words: "same ppl applauding paul are the same who almost attacked him in the streets" You quoted me so I responded accordingly since I'm applauding him How the hell am I making it personal? -
And they got to the state semifinals last year and barely lost to Woodville... Tidehaven returns 9 on offense and 8 on defense they only lost ten seniors and return 28 lettermen which is a huge # for a 3A-D2 They bring back: 4-year starter at QB 4-year starter at WR/LB All-state DB and a starter at WR All-state LB A trio of three-year starters on the OL A three-year starter at DT They do have to settle on a RB and replace two DE's but 17 starters back from a state semifinalist is going to put them at the top of just about anyone's ranking list
-
They almost won 7on7 last year also. Doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be unbeatable.

I know it was just 7 on 7…. But based off what happened last week at the state 7 on 7 and Matt being there then he probably got a good view of what they have skill position wise… Hopefully we will see… but solid chance these two ain’t playing in the state semi finals.
