Nope.
Congress has no power over any citizenship other than naturalization.
To say otherwise is to say that they can modify the Constitution at will, and amendment is utterly useless.

And this is a point I simply cannot get anyone on the other side to grasp. Their eyes glaze over every time you try to make them understand that.

Congress can't modify the Constitution. The Supreme Court Can't modify the Constitution. The President Can't modify the Constitution.

Meanings of constitutional terms cannot be changed by Congressional acts or Judicial "Interpretations."
