The Constitution did not need to be overturned.

It means the same thing now as it meant when Ratified:

Natural Born Citizen means Citizen at Birth!

PERIOD!

You can not find a single member of the Constitutional Convention who disagrees with me.

You can not find a single Founder, President, or early Member of Congress who disagrees with me.

James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, clearly agrees with me.

” You can not find a single Founder, President, or early Member of Congress who disagrees with me.James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, clearly agrees with me.”

John Jay, who later went on to become the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, “Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and reasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.”

John Adams, 1776:

On the other hand it could never be our Duty to unite with Britain in too great a humiliation with of France. That our real if not our nominal Independence would consist in our Neutrality. If We united with either Nation, in any future War, We must become too subordinate and dependent on that nation, and should be involved in all European Wars as We had been hitherto. That foreign Powers would find means to corrupt our People to influence our Councils, and in fine We should be little better than Puppetts danced on the Wires of the Cabinetts of Europe. We should be the Sport of European Intrigues and Politicks.

Vattel`s Law of Nations, “...natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. “
