They NEED to touch it, although I agree with you that as a practical matter it’s a non-issue this election. But the issue needs to be addressed at some point, whether that be through a Constitutional Amendment clarifying the issue or by a Supreme Court case. Allowing children of foreign born non-citizens to be President is not what the framers intended and it’s not something we should accept. And I would go further to suggest that judges (at least judges on the federal level) and Members of Congress should have the same restriction imposed upon them. That obviously would require legislative or Constitutional changes. But such changes should be made IMO.
I agree with everything you said. To really get it right, it would take a Constitutional amendment. Obama and Harris would be grandfathered in. So that wouldn’t be an issue.
The issue would be that an amendment requires approval by 3/4 of the states. Given that a good portion of the states are run not just by Democrats, but by Democrat lunatics, that 3/4 is a high hurdle.
