Is your question “is the 14th amendment constitutional?”
Interesting question. The basis of the CW was inability of states to separate. Yet those same states were (unconstitutionally?) denied votes on Amendments 14-15-16.

the substance of a constitutional amendment is “constitutional“ by definition. But, procedurely, enactment of the Civil War amendments was certainly … irregular.

Do those irregularities mean that they were not validly enacted? There is a strong argument in favor of that position.
