Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respec- tive numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, be- ing twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts in- curred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or eman- cipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void. Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. Believe in this or Not Keeping Adversaries at Bay Alika Mosley is a Portland na- tive who has embarked on military career she knows is part of a leg- acy that will last beyond her life- time. As a Petty Officer 3rd Class master-at-arms with the Com- mander of Submarine Group Nine at the Kitsap-Bangor Naval Base in Washington near Seattle, Mos- ley is responsible for law enforce- ment and overall security on Navy installations. “I enjoy my community, we work pretty intense and rigorous duties and that brings us closer together,” she said. “Submariners are a very close-knit group, closer than surface sailors for sure. They want to help each other to the best of their ability at all costs.” Mosley graduated from high school in Virginia in 2012, but also draws lessons from her time growing up in Portland. “Portland is like a melting pot and it makes you able to relate to multiple walks of life, and that’s very helpful in the Navy,” she said. The Navy’s ballistic missile submarines, often referred to in- formally as “boomers,” serve as undetectable launch platforms for intercontinental ballistic missiles. They are designed specifically for stealth, extended patrols and the precise delivery of missiles, and they are the only survivable leg of the nation’s strategic nuclear forc- es, which also include land-based missiles and aircraft.
