"Subject to the jurisdiction thereof" in the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause defines who gains birthright citizenship, meaning a person must owe complete, direct allegiance to the United States and be under its full sovereign authority at birth. It excludes children of foreign diplomats, hostile occupiers, and, historically, certain Native American tribal members, ensuring they are not automatically U.S. citizens.
