I have to disagree with that. Congress was constitutionally given power over naturalization AND the power to make any laws necessary to implement that power.

You are still tripping over the obvious.

So, to define who needs to be naturalized one MUST define who does not need to be naturalized, ie., those who are already natural.

The one thing is not a subset of the other. As I have pointed out before, NO children of Naturalized immigrants have a naturalization ceremony. Does this make them non-naturalized?

The absence of a ceremony or a certificate does not make them a "natural" citizen.

I know from that many think Congress power deals only with non-Americans becoming Americans. But, it is obvious that one must define US citizen in order to determine those who require being naturalized.

The final lines of section 8 are enormous, “make all laws necessary”. When it comes to determining naturalization laws, Congress is empowered by the Constitution to make all laws necessary.
