because citizenship issues are delegated to Congress

Naturalization issues are delegated to Congress. Their power is limited to establishing a "uniform Rule of Naturalization". They have no power to redefine Constitutional terms.

Your quotes talk about twi *sources* of citizenship, by birth and by naturalization. Natural Born is not a source of citizenship, it's categorization of "by birth" citizenship. Natural Born Citizens are just a special subset of "citizen by birth". . It is of course a large subset.

But your quotes have nothing to do with the requirements for Natural Born Citizenship, one way or the other.

Can you point us to any law in the US Code of Laws or any US Supreme Court decision that backs up your contention?

Natural born and “by birth” are one in the same in the year 2010, in these United States of America.
