The congress will not and should not do it. The resolution they passed on McCain was outside the scope of their authority.

Congress has the power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization.

Only God can make a natural born citizen.

[whence911]

A uniform rule of naturalization does not define the constitutional term "natural born citizen." It would define how one becomes naturalized.

IIRC from 7th grade the constitution is interpretered by the supremes. The congress would have to add a definition or examples, which I didn't see in there. So whatever we had in 2008 in Nov, would be what the supremes would consider, not congress.
