To: GOPe Means Bend Over Spell Run
If Congress passed a law in 1790, or even today, that conflicted with the original meaning of natural born citizen, the Supreme Court has the power to it strike down as unconstitutional.

Only if Congress allows it. You belong to the class of lawyer types that seem to think the Supreme Court is Supreme, it is not. Congress can and has passed laws that are not subject to judicial review because the writers of the Constitution knew all to well the danger of a Supreme Court as well as the danger of an imperial Presidency. Unfortunately our current congress has rolled over on both issues.

Then they did nothing once Marbury v Madison was decided.
