Sorry..........your post is in error. the Constitution can only be changed by Convention....not legislation.

Article V, U.S. Constitution: The Congress,whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

Enacting legislation that changes the Constitution is Unconstitutional. Proposing is not enacting!

Thank you for making my point. When Congress is following it’s enumerated powers, it is NOT changing the Constitution. Congress is not attempting to remove the NBC requirement. THAT would require a change. Congress is following the Constitution when it expresses the will of Congress (via law) and exercising its power / authority to establish the rules of naturalization i.e. who is and who is not a natural born citizen.
