The 14th Amendment is invalid for the following reasons:
* It was never ratified by three-fourth of all the States in the Union according to Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution. Out of 37 States, 16 had rejected it.
* Many of the States who were counted as ratifying it, were compelled to do so under duress of military occupation. Any legal act entered into under force duress, and coercion is automatically null and void.
* The fact that 23 Senators had been unlawfully excluded from the U.S. Senate, shows that the joint resolution proposing the Amendment was not submitted to or adopted by a constitutional Congress.
* The intent of the 14th Amendment is repugnant to the original U.S. Constitution and the organic law of the land. It did not, and could not, repeal anything that was part of the organic law. Therefore the principles of precedent and stare decisis render it void.
