Since the Constitution never actually defines the term "natural born citizen," and thus is falls to Congress to define that termNo, it doesn't. Congress has no such power.

It would seem to be implied in the fact that Congress gets to define, per their power to establish uniform rules of naturalization, what isn't a natural born citizen. The question of implied powers was pretty much settled from the very beginning, so yes, Congress does get to define it.
