The SCOTUS could have reduced the parental US residence requirement for fathers so that it matches that for mothers as provided by Congress; but that would have been the kind of expansion of the US citizen base that they'd rather let Congress adjust.
You are not talking about the same situation I was.
The category of stateless people I was describing are those whose fathers left the US as soldiers in WWII before they were 18 years old and never returned to the U.S. as adults. In that group there were roughly 100 individuals who were issued passports by the UN. Likely there are numerous other categories of persons without any recognized citizenship, but that's not what I was describing.
