Then who can? If Congress is tasked by the Constitution with rules for naturalization then don't they first have to define who doesn't need to be naturalized?

No, they only define who *can be* naturalized. You're assuming that "not naturalized", and "natural born" are the same thing. They may not be.

But we've gone around on that question before, and we'll not stop the circling here either.

Constitutionally they must be. If your not naturalized then your natural born. Those are the only two forms of citizenship the Constitution outlines.

True.
