“Natural born citizenship goes further. Born in country, to citizen parents.”

Except your citations do not show that. They show 2 classes - natural born and adopted.

Also, Congress could not change the law to prevent an anchor baby from having citizenship. That would require a court case.

If one is ever offered, I’d cheerfully support it, since I think ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ means more than just being present. And a “NBS” in common law had more duties than a tourist or illegal - the latter not existing at the time.

But I still wouldn’t hold my breath expecting to win...I honestly think it would require a Constitutional amendment at this point.
