The toughest, but probably most needed, is an amendment over birthright citizenship.

We need an amendment that says:

  1. A child born within the United States of two citizen parents is a natural born citizen.
  2. A child born outside the United States of two citizen parents, where at least one parent was resident within the United States in the previous 10 years is a natural born citizen.
  3. A child born outside the United States of two citizen parents, where neither parent was resident within the United States during the previous 10 years, must naturalize the child within the first 10 years of the child's life.
  4. A child born of only one citizen parent must naturalize the child within the first 10 years of the child's life, regardless of birth location.
  5. A child born inside the United States of two non-citizen parents is not a citizen of the United States. Citizenry descends to the child based on relevant laws governing the parents of the child.
  6. A child found within the United States of unknown parentage may become naturalized once the child reaches the age of 18. If adopted by a citizen parent, the child may become naturalized upon adoption.

You can't change the meaning of natural born Citizen with an Amendment or any other law made by man.

That is why the Founding Fathers in 1795 repealed the natural born Citizen language of the Naturalization Act of 1790.
