Re: “However, if the kid is born in the U.S., but 'Mama' takes the kid to some other country after birth . . . that kid is NO Longer "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" and is NOT a citizen.”
If it worked like that, American citizens would have to be crazy to travel to a foreign country. They might lose their citizenship!

In your example, the baby born in the United States was under US jurisdiction for a time. It therefore became a US citizen. I've never seen an example of US citizenship being lost because of subsequent travel outside the country. Let's hope that does not become a "thing."

14th Amendment
>>>
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
>>>

Now the way I read it, "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" . . Means (to me anyway) that if a kid is born in the U.S. AND is subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. . . said kid IS a citizen.

However, if the kid is born in the U.S., but 'Mama' takes the kid to some other country after birth . . . that kid is NO Longer "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" and is NOT a citizen.

I am also of the opinion that 'illegal aliens' - because they are in violation of American law their kids are also not 'subject to jurisdiction'.
