Just because YOU say that doesn’t mean it’s the case. Congress decides on the laws of who’s a citizen and who’s not, and they don’t agree with you.

I think the Constitution as original by the Founder and/or subsequent amendments is what established(s) the form of citizenship. Congress has no authority to abrogate what is specifically specified in the Constitution.

In this case, that is not correct. The Constitution requires that a presidential candidate be a Natural Born Citizen (not just a citizen). For Congress to change that requires a Constitutional Amendment. It has not been amended.

Of Course those in Congress who have assumed the position of “our betters” have decided that they need no longer abide by the rule of law.
