“So the civil rights act of 1866 didn’t change the 3/5 clause of the constitution ?”

No, it did not; the 13th amendment did in 1865.

The Constitution gave Congress the power to set citizenship standards. The Constitution did not grant Congress the power to change what is written into the Constitution.

Nice try...

The 13th amendment simply abolished slavery...

The civil rights act of 1866 granted former slaves citizen rights...since the constitution did not...

Is that adding, modifying, altering the constitution ?

So is 8 U.S. Code AS: 1401 - Nationals and citizens of United States at birth is now constitutional or not?

I'm sure you have an opinion...

So according to you own standard Title 8 U.S. Code § 1401 - Nationals and citizens of United States at birth is law and constitutional...

Cruz is eligible to run for POTUS...

Thanks for clearing that up...
