“I would argue and I have argued that there is nothing in the statutes dealing with nationality that acts to amend or alter the plain words of the Constitution.”
There is so the moment you try to act to claim a statute can govern who is and is not a natural born citizen. The Constitution has no authority to make or unmake a person a natural born citizen. Only God’s nature can do so, just as the right of free speech, and the right of self defense are natural and inherent rights that a person is born with and which the Bill of Rights cannot grant, only protect and defend. This is why the naturalization of persons as naturalized citizens is what is known as a legal fiction. Since the Constitution has no power to make or unmake a natural born citizen, the only power granted to Congress was the power to “establish an uniform Rule of naturalization that grants an alien some but not all of the rights of an actual citizen, whether the alien is automatically naturalized at birth or personally naturalized after birth.
Good luck with that.
For me, I prefer a more rational approach.
