And Wong got it WRONG and the courts don’t have the power of naturalization.
Quite a subtle argument, Electric. Clearly, the Constitution gives Congress the power of naturalization. Wong concerned natural born citizenship or birthright citizenship or citizenship at birth, not naturalization.
Congress plays a role regarding birthright citizenship, subject to the 14th Amendment since it was ratified.
While all person born here, subject to our laws, are birthright citizens by reason of the 14th Amendment, so too are persons born overseas of at least one U.S. citizen parent, (provided said U.S. citizen parent has invigorated his or her citizenship if he or her was born overseas).
The later form of natural born citizenship (by lineage, as opposed to place of birth) has its roots in English common law but was codified by law (that is, by Congress) and amended from the English common law in certain ways.
