The native-born qualification for the presidency is in the Constitution. The US Consitution is a spare document that doesn't even mention agencies, much less agency directors. It doesn't even name major government departments or secretaries, such as Defense, Justice, etc. Congress could pass a law about it, but I'm not sure why they would. I'm not sure what the authors of the Constitution were thinking, but that was a very different situation. For example, the US had just separated from the UK; perhaps, having just rid themselves of a British king, the authors didn't want someone born in the UK as president.
