Well it wouldn't be the first time. The constitution as written doesn't even mention citizenship at all. That was added on later. And honestly, I don't think it needs to be amended. Congress has the power to determine what qualifications for citizenship there are. Just get rid of a lot of the pointless stuff things. Maybe just have a simple residency requirement. Also I don't like the fact that immigrants are required to learn English to be citizens. I agree with it on a practical level, but there is no legal justification for it. It's not like English is the official language of the United States.
