You're fairly new to this debate, I take it? "The Constitution does not at words say who shall be natural born citizens..." doesn't ring any bells? The legislature cannot just pass laws overriding the Constitution, either. There is well-founded logic and reasoning behind that statement you're dismisding, as well as case law and precedent to support it.

What do you have, that indicates an ability of Congress to make any legal determination as to the meaning of the term?

Let me see if I have this straight. Your argument is that, because the Constitution does not define the term, it would be unconstitutional for it to be defined? By anyone? Ever?

Its existence as a legislative body. The Constitution is filled with terms intentionally left vague, because the Framers knew lawmakers would, you know, make laws.
