If its true, then the Democrats would just move to change the Constitutional requirement and everyone would go for it because it’s Obama.

Just have a court/judge “interpret” that out of the Constitution.

They would just have to weigh their desired outcome - that Buttock 0bama be qualified as president - and then find justification by twisting the words of the Constitution or looking at foreign law.

Not so easy - it would require a Constitutional Amendment ratified by 3/4 of the State Legislatures. It takes years. The 27th Amendment was actually proposed along with the BIll of Rights and took over 200 years. Most modern proposals have had time limits - i.e. The ERA amendment that was never ratified.

With that said, who says the dims and 0bama intend to abide by The Constitution anyway?
