First, the 14th was just that, an AMENDMENT and is not an “extension of Congressional power” -— the 14th is a limit, a prohibition against the States, telling them that they MUST regard Blacks as Citizens. It was NOT “legislation”, but it IS part of the Constitution itself, amending and changing that document.
Also, Congress has declared many types of situations that grant birthright citizenship. The rules for citizenship, when born on foreign soil, have changed many, many times.
Nobody, anywhere, at anytime, has challenged the right and duty of Congress to set the rules for ALL forms of citizenship, and there are only TWO forms:
Natural Born or Naturalized!
You do realize you just contradicted your own post #215 where you said
Natural Born Citizen means Citizen at Birth, and nothing else.
Don't you?

Which I've covered.

Please show me the part of the Constitution that grants Congress the ability to determine the criteria for Natural born.
The common law has affixed such distinct and appropriate ideas to the terms denization, and naturalization, that they can not be confounded together, or mistaken for each other in any legal transaction whatever. They are so absolutely distinct in their natures, that in England the rights they convey, can not both be given by the same power; the king can make denizens, by his grant, or letters patent, but nothing but an act of parliament can make a naturalized subject. This was the legal state of this subject in Virginia, when the federal constitution was adopted; it declares that congress shall have power to establish an uniform rule of naturalization; throughout the United States; but it also further declares, that the powers not delegated by the constitution to the U. States, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states, respectively or to the people. The power of naturalization, and not that of denization, being delegated to congress, and the power of denization not being prohibited to the states by the constitution, that power ought not to be considered as given to congress, but, on the contrary, as being reserved to the states.
St. George Tucker
The mode by which an alien may become a citizen, has a specific appellation which refers to the same principle. It is descriptive of the operation of law as analogous to birth, and the alien, received into the community by naturalization, enjoys all the benefits which birth has conferred on the other class.
William Rawle
You quoted Tucker and Rawle earlier. Did you bother reading the entirety of their work, or were you just cherry picking?
