Question
the enforcement clause of the fourteenth amendment states that congress has the authority to
grant citizenship to people.
change the constitution.
enforce only the bill of rights.
make laws to apply the amendment.
The 14th Amendment's enforcement clause (Section 5) explicitly gives Congress the power to enact legislation to implement the amendment's provisions. Granting citizenship is covered in Section 1 of the amendment, not the enforcement clause. Congress cannot unilaterally change the Constitution, as that requires the amendment process. The clause is not limited to enforcing only the Bill of Rights.
