I totally agree with you. I actually think a Constitutional Amendment is necessary to - once and for all - clear up the vagaries of this class (or condition as you call it) known as a NBC.

Until then - its a open debate only solved by a (Supreme) Court decision.

Either the NBC clause will continue to be ignored - right now at least 20% of the public is aware of this flaw in the execution of the constitution; or it will be removed, and replaced with a clause that allows (at least) any citizen (and maybe any national) to hold the office.

SCOTUS can evade the issue forever if it wants.
