The supreme court needs to settle this once and for all. For the life of me, I can’t understand why it wasn’t settled decades ago. Do it now before the court is the all obama all the time court.
Jindal, Cruz, Rubio, and other questionable US citizens with future presidential aspirations should take this to court on their own and force the issue.

No, they don't. The voters and their electors can continue to judge the qualification of presidential candidates like they have for over 200 years.

The Constitution does not empower the Supreme Court or any judge to screen or qualify candidates for president. That is the Iranian system, where a state Guardian Council must approve of all presidential candidates. In the United States, both the selection and the removal of presidents is a political function and not a judicial function.

If Cruz or Rubio should run, the voters and their electors shall decide whether or not they are or are not qualified.

It is settled.

M v. H

Just no one likes the answer and just ignores it.
