Even as that too is an authority to regulate cross-border movements. And if the Administrative exercise of making the determination of such citizenship status was done with the purpose of religious discrimination, it would still be a constitutional question beyond just the question about the authority of a President to execute in the realm of foreign affairs.
No one was trying to assert which citizen was natural born. It was about immigration from certain regions.

I think the USSC will take up this case.
