Congress has done just that. The U.S. Department of State follows Federal Law, on its application for a Passport.

Actually they did it here in Title 8 > Chapter 12 > Subchapter III > Part I > § 1401 thru § 1409 of the U.S. Code.

Pay special attention to where they define who is a citizen at birth.

Excuse me but YOU need a lesson in LOGIC!

The law, in place, at the TIME OF BIRTH dictates who is a “Natural Born Citizen” -— there is no way to grant that status, retroactively.

If you were not a “citizen” at birth, you can become a citizen later, by Congressional action or by Naturalization.

You can not, possibly, legally EVER become a “Natural Born Citizen” if the law, in place at the time of your birth, says that you were not a “Citizen” at the exact moment of your birth.

You are pathetically wrong on this one.

Even the passport application form mentions the date of the statute you list. That law ONLY applies to those born AFTER that date!
