I don't think the Supreme Court would rule him ineligible.

First, Justice Ginsburg has in the past said her grandchildren born in Paris are natural born citizens.

Second, Justice Thomas wrote in Zivotofsky v. Kerry.

[ . . . in the exercise of the power conferred by the Constitution to establish a uniform rule of naturalization.” United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U. S. 649, 688 (1898) ; see also Miller v. Albright, 523 U. S. 420, 456 (1998) (Scalia, J., concurring in judgment) (recognizing that “Congress has the power to set the requirements for acquisition of citizenship by persons not born within the territory of the United States”). It has determined that children born abroad to U. S. parents, subject to some exceptions, are natural-born citizens who do not need to go through the naturalization process. 8 U. S. C. §§ 1401(c), (d), (g).]

We didn’t think they would do a lot of things.

They have 4 leftist judges, one swinger (Kennedy), and one guy they can blackmail as needed (Roberts).

They also have the Democrats that want major payback for the BC issue with Obama, and the 2000 election aftermath.

That deck is looking a bit stacked.
