US CONSTITUTION - Article I - Section 8
The Congress shall have power to:
establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.
-
Amendment 14 - Section 5
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.


As I understand this and other commentary I have read,
congress can simply define citizenship as they may seem fit.
No constitutional amendment is needed; just a congressional bill.
