The idea that Congress can rejigger the qualifications for President every time they exercise their power of naturalization is just silly.

Rational people recognize that "natural citizen" means the same thing today that it meant in 1787. The Constitution is changed through the amendment process, not from a floor vote of congress.

And then there's you. The Constitution gives Congress the power to establish uniform rules of naturalization. A logical part of that process is identifying you doesn't need to be naturalized to be a citizen. So they define who qualifies as natural born citizens.
