““Congress ONLY has authority to make citizens through the process of naturalization. “
Says who?

It’s called the Constitution of the United States”

WHERE in the Constitution does it say that Congress only has the authority to make citizens through the process of naturalization.

BE CAREFUL: First read Section 5 of the 14th Amendment. then read the “necessary and proper clause”

The Constitution DOES explicitly give Congress that power. See Section 5 of the 14th Amendment.

Article 1 ... list the enumerated powers given to Congress of Congress

[Constitution for the United States of America][1]

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Article. I.

...

Section. 8. The Congress shall have Power...

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization,...

There is nothing at all in the enumerated powers concerning children born to fathers who are already citizens of the United States, PERIOD! Congress was ONLY given authority over those who were born aliens, a.k.a. citizens of another country, therefore, since Cruz held Canadian citizenship, that he had from birth until May 14, 2014, for purposes of the Constitution, he is a naturalized citizen, PERIOD!

Ted Cruz is perfectly qualified to hold any office except that of the president & vice president.

And the 14th Amendment gives no such power to Congress except that of naturalization because the 14th states, all person born "IN" the United States, PERIOD! Ted Cruz was not born "IN" the United States, therefore, the only way for him to be a citizen is under Congress's authority to naturalize him at birth because his mother was a US citizen.
