“The statute defines natural born as opposed to naturalized.”

A statute cannot redefine what is in the Constitution. It is like saying a statute can alter the meaning of the term “infringed”.

It takes an amendment to alter the Constitution. Otherwise, you have a “living document.”

The Constitution did provide an EXACT definition indeed in 1790 the first congress stated that a person born overseas to American parents was a natural born citizen.
