Trump v. Barbara · ¶451

If “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States had been a term of art during Reconstruction, we would presumably hold that the phrase has that meaning in the Fourteenth Amendment. See, e.g., George v. McDonough, 596 U. S. 740, 746 (2022). But that phrase was not a term of art, and the Court does not claim it was.
