True, it's not, but the Constitution is.
Please show me the authority enumerated in the Constitution that gives the federal government the ability to define the term 'natural born citizen'.

I think you meant to type something else, and it's hard to tell what it is. We have three branches of federal government.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 says Congress shall have the power "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States..." If you're going lay out laws on naturalization then don't you first have to define those who don't acquire citizenship through the naturalization process?
