Congress is the authority, and they employ “this guy” to provide them with expert non-partisan legal analysis.

Congress has no authority to re-define constitutional terms. Neither do the Courts. The Constitution is the SOURCE of their power, they are not the masters.

The Only Authority capable of re-defining constitutional terms is the combined effect of both House and Senate with 3/4ths of the State Legislatures voting in the affirmative.
