Naturalization act.
That is an act of congress.
Minor vs Happersat, the judge states that all born outside of the states are naturalized, by will of congress.
This ruling has now stood as fact for more than 100 years.
In the opinions, they state citizenship is not passed by blood line outside the states.
So Ted has a big problem.
Yes, Congress pass all legislation and expresses it’s will via acts. “Rules of Naturalization” includes who is and who is not a citizen and further, who is a citizen at birth or naturally born as a citizen and has no need of naturalization.
As for Minor vs Happersat, that is a very far off characterization of what the court actually said:
The court observed that “new citizens may be born or they may be created by naturalization” and that the Constitution “does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens.”
The court observed that some authorities “include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents”— but since Minor was born in the United States and her parents were U.S. citizens, she was unquestionably a citizen herself, even under the narrowest possible definition, and the court thus noted that the subject did not need to be explored in any greater depth. (Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. at 168)
The current law as expressed in title 8 section 1401 describes who are citizens at birth (i.e. naturally born citizens)
