    Author of 14th Amendment: ‘Removes All Doubt as to What Persons Are or Are Not Citizens’

    By Craig Bannister | October 31, 2018 | 3:53 PM EDT



    Today, debate is raging in Congress over whether or not the 14th Amendment grants automatic citizenship to the children of illegal aliens born on U.S. soil – but, the author of the amendment said its intent couldn’t be clearer.

    On May 30, 1866, Sen. Jacob Howard (R-Michigan), the author of the amendment's language, gave a speech on the Senate floor explaining its meaning and declaring that that the amendment “settles the great question” and “removes all doubt” about citizenship:

    “It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States.”
