McDonel vs. State

One may be a citizen of a state, yet NOT be a citizen of the United States, the political status created by Congress. What this implies is that one may be a citizen of a state, not under the
jurisdiction of the United States, and therefore an “alien” under the definition of a non-resident alien in the U.S.C. and as “non-resident” to the residency of the 14th amendment, since it says “Born or Naturalized and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”, not “are” subject. This means that there are those who are who are NOT subject to the jurisdiction thereof.
