Changing the 14th Amendment

This article is mainly talking about the idea of changing the 14th amendment. The 14th amendment basically states that anyone born or naturalized in the U.S. is a citizen. It uses the statements made by John Boehner the House Minority Leader. He thinks changing the 14th Amendment is "worth considering". The amendment has also been stated as the foundation of U.S. civil rights law in cases from Brown v. Board of Education to the newest decision of removing the ban on same-sex marriage in California. so it doesn't give many opinons or statements on other politicians which give it just a republican kind of article in my view.
