Congress can end birthright citizenship simply by passing a law

Newsmachete  . . . "But contrary to what the media would have you believe, the Constitution doesn't have to be amended to end birthright citizenship.  All it would take would be an act of Congress.
If an illegal alien has a child on American soil, the Constitution does not require the child be granted American citizenship. Congress can give citizenship to anyone it wants, but the Fourteenth Amendment only commands citizenship to persons born on U.S. soil to parents who are not citizens of a foreign country.
Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment begins, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
