What's the alternative? No one has even proposed one, and SCOTUS will not sua sponte re-write the rules of naturalization, since that's a PLENARY power of Congress.

BTW that's another reason this is going nowhere. PLENARY POWER means the President has no say in this. He can fuck right off.

The ruling wouldn't affect naturlization, it would revoke the citizenship of "natural born" citizens. And maybe that's a desirable outcome. After all, America is a nation of immigrants, not of natives.

The Constitution says Congress has plenary power over "uniform rules of naturalization" and that's been extended to mean all laws concerning immigration, period. Since 1869 Congress has treated birthright citizenship as the law, and never once have they told State Department to stop issuing passports to people who were provably born in the USA.

Not really. Congress can't even pass a budget, members of Congress don't even read the omnibus bills they do pass. You can't take a position on whether Congress intends anything, because it can't always act when it would like to and when it does act it doesn't act intelligently.
