Congress DOES have the authority, through Legislation, to alter or change citizenship rules for Natural Born as well as Naturalized Citizens.
Then from whence does such authority derive?
In other words, what specific Article, Section and Clause of the Constitution gives Congress the power, much less the authority, to perform this function?
It obviously isn't Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, since that pertains to naturalization, so where does Congress get the authority you claim it has?

Since you've learned to link it shouldn't be too hard for you to provide support for your conclusions.

I'll be interested to see that link also, where man has the authority to change that which God created ... the "natural" increase of any given society.
