Citizenship can be acquired under 1409, just as it can be under 1401, if the conditions for the grant are met. There is nothing remarkable in that.

There is a naturalization process for these persons. They re required to submit their claim to a competent authority for adjudication.

A person who submits a foreign birth certificate in order to get a US passport, will be denied. That person has to first have his claim to US citizenship adjudicated in his favor.

Anyone acquiring citizenship solely under the exercise of this power is, constitutionally speaking, a naturalized citizen. ... A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty, as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory; or by authority of congress, exercised either by declaring certain classes of persons to be citizens, as in the enactments conferring citizenship upon foreign-born children of citizens, or by enabling foreigners individually to become citizens by proceedings in the judicial tribunals, as in the ordinary provisions of the naturalization acts.

So simple, even a cave man could understand it.
