Doing so would've been quite natural given that this straightforward, unambiguous phrase is used in both Article III and Article VI.
>The clause also ensures that birthright citizenship makes newborns citizens of both the United States. And of the states wherein they reside, that is where they live, their home. This word standing alone implies a lawful permanent residence, and it plainly excludes tourists and other lawful visitors, as well as illegal aliens who are prohibited by law from residing in a state.
>Although they all must obey our laws.
