Since professor Tribe seems to be Mr. Trump’s current go to constitutional expert, would he be in line for a supreme court appointment under a Trump administration. Although I currently favor Mr. Trump for the nomination, I would certainly have reservations if he is taking advice from someone such as Tribe.

If the Constitution laid out the specific qualifications, then I could certainly see using an originalist interpretation.

But the founders used a common-law term -- natural-born -- a term the meaning of which had changed in the past and would likely, they no doubt understood, change again.

This is one case, perhaps the only one, where a changing interpretation is justified. IMHO.
