The $64000 question is whether Congress gets to redefine NBC. If it does, then all this stuff is about as relevant as the buggy whip.

As with a lot of other issues. Giving the Congress the power to redefine the meaning of words in the US Constitution is just insane. It is an obvious short circuit of the entire amendment process.

Congress can't change the qualifications for the Presidency by changing the law. It doesn't work like that.

It requires a constitutional amendment to change those requirements. Nothing less will do.

Insane things may be in the Constitution, but you don’t fix that by redefining the Constitution your own self. That is jumping out of frying pan into fire.

One insane thing in the Constitution is the power of the USSC to control anything it wishes. That was written into the beast.

Another insane thing in the Constitution was slavery.

So to complain that the Congress can furnish the meaning of a term used, is, itself, insane.
