Who says the Supreme Court didn't do their job? They visited the citizenship issue more than a century ago with Kim Wong Ark. Just because a group of people want them to revisit the issue (and construct a ruling that would disqualify Obama) doesn't mean SCOTUS is obligated to do so.

SCOTUS, in ARK, did not address the question of who is an NBC as a requirement for Article II section 1 clause 5.

Tell me about this Justice Gray..who is he who appointed him? Are 100 year old precedents set in stone or can they change with a different SC? Was Obama’s father a permanent legtal resident of the USA, like Kim Wong Ark’s? Keep dreaming Drew68
Which was about citizenship by birth in the US, not about Natural born citizenship. The only place it mentions NBC is when it, in a quotation, compares the child of alien, born in the US, to the natural-born child of a citizen, stating that both have the same rights, but also indicating that they are not the same thing.
But being eligible to the Office of President is not a right. If it were how could it be denied to naturalized citizens?).
