How do you become a co-executor of your mother's will?

The following is general information only. You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who specializes in probate law. The testator usually names the executor in the will. When the testator dies, the named executor files the will for probate and must also petition to be appointed as the executor at the same time. The executor has no power or legal authority until they have been appointed by the court. If your mother didn't name you as co-executor in her will then you will need to consult with the person who was named in the will. Perhaps they would consider allowing you to join in the petition for appointment as a co-executor.


Which Amendment declared that persons born in the U.S are citizens of the U.S.?

The 14th amendment deals with citizenship. It does not quite say that all persons born in US are citizens-- only those born in US and and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that foreign nationals would not automatically become citizens by this amendment if they happen to be born in the US.
