Before you alter the Constitution, you need to get a ruling from SCOTUS defining the meaning of "natural born citizen" as it applies to eligibility under the Constitution. The ruling will determing what further action should be taken.

The fact remains that both McCain and Obama were on the ballot and Obama sits in the WH. That is an inescapable, undeniable fact. Anyone who says that this is settled law or that the Constitution is perfectly clear on the issue, so clear in fact that no one disputes it, is clearly living in a parallel universe.

It’s natural law. It doesn’t need any stinking statute or definition.

“A person born in a nation of citizen parents.” (Jus solis + jus sanguinis.)

It is natural law - period. Simple and logical.

Obama is ineligible and a usurper.

The only thing necessary to change the situation is peasants with torches and pitchforks to remove him.

PARADIGM SHIFT : No defining necessary, just application of said law.

There is one ruling that the SC doesn’t have to make and would be out of it’s province to do so. That is that the Constitution explicitly mandates that POTUSA be a ‘natural born citizen’ as opposed to the mandate for Representatives and Senators to be ‘citizens’. The Founding Fathers knew the difference and did not leave it up to the SC to decide.
