not a law passed by Congress and signed by a president.

Which STILL Cannot change the meaning of words in the US Constitution. Only an Amendment can do that.

I agree that the meaning of the words does not change, but we all know from Minor v. Happersett that: “The Constituion does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that.”

The “elsewhere” that the Court was referring to is statutory law, administrative law and case law.
