As a matter of fact, if it weren’t for the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which provides that one who acquires United States citizenship by virtue of having been born abroad to parents, one of whom is an American citizen, who has met certain residence requirements, shall lose his citizenship unless he resides in this country continuously for five years between the ages of 14 and 28, I might even doubt his American citizenship. But of course this was well after the founders had departed this good earth, and by virtue of that he is indeed a U.S. citizen.

Yes and you find where congress was given that authority in Article 1, Section 8, first half of clause 4.

A person born to a US citizen single parent in the USA is automatically “naturalized at birth.” As long as that citizen is under the “Jurisdiction” of the USA. That citizen cannot be trying to undermine the USA, because he is then not under the “jurisdiction” of the USA. Jurisdiction is the thing that protects from insurrection.

The transformation from kingdoms, whatever required a whole new way of thinking in a "Constitutional Republic."

All citizens in the US today are "naturalized" by statute or term of residence/education/legal means.
