Fact-check: “The Fourteenth Amendment says that all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to its jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States.”
Verdict: True (90% confidence)
The claim accurately reproduces the core of the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship clause but contains two minor deviations: it substitutes 'its jurisdiction' for the actual phrase 'the jurisdiction thereof,' and omits the concluding phrase 'and of the State wherein they reside.' The substance is correct; the wording is a paraphrase, not a verbatim quote.
