Only US law can decide who is an NBC?

Natural born citizenship is extraconstitutional. It is defined outside of laws and statutes. It is a universal rule that the persons born in the country of its citizen parents will naturally be citizens of that same country. No law would be necessary for this to be recognized. When you get other factors, such as being born to foreign national citizens or being born abroad, then it requires statutory regulations to declare whether people can be considered citizens at birth.

Umm...no. Legal terms have legal meanings. You do not get to declare what the Constitution says about NBC. Congress can (and has), and the US Supreme Court could try (although it may well be outside their jurisdiction).

If it were a universal rule, there would be no dispute.
