I saw an argument that the “necessary and proper” clause in Article I, Section 8 lays out the authority quite nicely:
Congress has the power “to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or any Department or Officer thereof”.
This is unconstitutional and based on incorrect comprehension of the 14th amendment. Gaetz is specifically leaning on the “and subject to” part in "born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
