Please show me where is “standing” codified because I can’t find it?


I was talking about “Citizen of the United States at birth” being codified, not standing.
Standing is based on judicial precedent.

Nowhere in any law ever passed by Congress and nowhere in the Constitution is the Supreme Court granted the power of Judicial Review. The first Chief Justice, John Marshall invented the concept in 1803 with his opinion in Marbury v Madison and it has been judicial precedent ever since.

In eventing the concept of judicial review, Marshall gave the Supreme Court powers that were never envisioned by the Constitution and Thomas Jefferson, for one was furious that Marshall had engaged in that power grab for the judiciary.

Standing is similar but any judge who wants to ignore precedent and grant standing to any particular plaintiff is free to do so.

Hey, you quoted me & I was talking about standing, now where is it codofied? When did Congress pass a law that says what we have standing on & what we don’t because quite frankly I’m confused as the Constitution says all legal suits regarding constitutional matters are to be addressed & this was set in SCOTUS case law precedent over 200 years ago.
