You tell me to not put forth a false premise and then you turn around and in the VERY NEXT SENTENCE, put forth a false claim.

1) The whole Constitution is in play - ALL OF IT. You do not get to cherry pick out one word, one clause or even one section. The Constitution establishes and specifically enumerates Congress with the authority over all rules of naturalization.

2) Congress expresses and exercises it’s rule making authority via laws. Congress exercised it’s authority in the very first Congress and has continued to do so since then by passing laws.

3) The current set of rules are codified in Title 8 section 1401 and establishes those that are recognized as citizens from birth and do not need to be naturalized - i.e. naturally born as citizens or a natural born citizen

Yes it does, but "natural born citizens" are not "naturalized."

Therefore congress doesn't have a d@mn thing to do with it.
