>SCOTUS is granted to authority to decide whether someone is or is not Constitutionally President. Period. Full stop. End of discussion.

Not quite (end of discussion); the Supreme court has no authority to alter or amend the Constitution. So if, for example, Obama were really 16 years old NOTHING they said would change the fact to make Obama qualify for President because they cannot change the requirement for age. Likewise, if Obama were not a Citizen, then nothing they could do could make him a Natural Born Citizen because “natural born citizen” is a subset of “citizen.”

Please explain how “natural born citizen” is a subset of “citizen”?

You can find the types of statutory citizenships of the U.S.A. at www.uscis.gov., then click on ‘Citizenship’.

Natural born citizenhip is never mentioned BECAUSE it is not a type of citizenship, just an elgibility requirement to be President of the United States.
