Read this entire thread.
Even many birthers admit that Congress has the authority, and has used that authority, to grant birthright citizenship.
Madison complained, years after Ratification of the Constitution, that “citizenship” had still not been clearly defined by Federal or State legislation.
I posted that quote, more than once.

I don't. I'm still waiting for you to answer many of my questions. Like these...
James Madison says that Congress has such power.
I'm not asking you what James Madison said, am I? James Madison isn't the Constitution.

Then from whence does such authority derive? In other words, what specific Article, Section and Clause of the Constitution gives Congress the power, much less the authority, to perform this function? It obviously isn't Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, since that pertains to naturalization, so where does Congress get the authority you claim it has?

You tell everyone how wrong they are without providing evidence.

When you get questioned, all you do is insult and belittle them.
