I was about to say. Mr. Chairman. that the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution of the United States declares that all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and citizens of the State in which they reside. Do they take their title of citizenship from the mothers who bore them or the court which naturalized them. or from the Constitution of the United States which describes and adopts them? The Speaker of this Housw under certain contingencies may become the President of the United States. because he had been elected by the citizens of Philadelphia. and afterward selected by our votes to be Speaker. Does he derive that title from the Constitution of the United States or from the votes of the Fourth ward of the city of Philadelphia ?
