Is it LAW or NOT? The answer is YES & the only difference is that the LAW is added to Constitution as SUPREME LAW of the land and not merely just a codified law. It still makes its way through Congress, 1st through committee, then through the passing of Congress, then to the president & (my mistake, 14th wasn't signed by the pres) if the pres vetoes, then 2/3 majority of both houses of Congress pass, it then goes to the people, 3/4 pass and then it becomes LAW!
Get the picture? Or is your head still stuck too far up the horses arse? FYI...Mondays are notoriously bad days for trucking dispatchers, so you are likely to see no sympathy today as idiots laced with ignorance syndrome are a dime a dozen in this country & in your case it seems to be not merely a habitual caused syndrome but also an impenetrable one.

No. That is not how it works.
And Constitutional Amendments have power, not because they passed thru Congress (which the Equal Right Amendment did in ‘72), but because states approve them and they become part of the Constitution. Congress makes public and private law, which derives its authority from Congress. The Constitution derives its authority from the States.
When Scalia contrasted the Constitution with the Congress, the 14th Amendment fell under the Constitution, not Congress. The States approved it and conferred citizenship to those born in the USA, not Congress.
And someone who doesn’t understand that distinction shouldn’t post in front of his betters.
