I hear this and it makes me imagine a black man in colonialist America standing before a court arguing that, being considered 3/5ths a person allows him to do whatever he pleases because the constitution only applies to rights given to a full body inalienable man.Swearing to uphold the constitution doesn't mean that all the parts of it apply directly to the person so swearing.
For instance, the parts about electing Senators don't apply to the President's cabinet who are appointed and confirmed. The President swears to uphold those provisions but they don't affect him directly since he's neither a senator or cabinet appointee.
It is the same for the 14th Amendment, he swears to uphold it but it doesn't apply to him directly since it excludes him.
