...pursuant to the Fourteenth Amendment and the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)...

An ACT of Congress can't make a person a natural born citizen.
Why is that so hard for people to comprehend?

“Why is that so hard for people to comprehend?”

If you read the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, that covers it really and needs nothing from Congress. The INA was used, a few times, to get rid of quotas and open up citizenship to other nations other than Europe. But it applies to defining what an alien has to do to become a citizen. And nothing in the INA applies to a person born in the US. So it withdraws itself from need and it is the only other document that can define citizenship requirements completely.

In Black’s Law Dictionary, natural born is defined as:

“someone who is “born within the jurisdiction.”
