The claim that birthright citizenship is "written in our Constitution" is false. It’s a judicial interpretation from the 1898 case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, not explicit text. The 14th Amendment’s "subject to jurisdiction" clause allows debate. See the evidence: https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0169_0649_ZO.html
