Will the SC invent new law making it possible for him to take it anyway? Will the Congress ram through a bill redefining the term “naturalized” so that Obama can take office?

Neither the SC nor Congress can change the Constitution. An amendment would need to be ratified by 2/3rds of the states. I don't think even that would happen even in the blue states - they may be blinded by idolatry for Obama but I don't think they'd want to open the doors for foreigners or those with dual-citizenship to be President in the future.

I understand that they require 2/3 of the states to ratify an ammendment. That will not matter.

If he was forced to relinquish citizenship as a child to become an Indonesian citizen - and is therefore no longer a natural born citizen - they will pass a law that states natural born children are incapable of deciding for themselves and therefore cannot relinquish their status until the age of consent.

Basically they will state that a parent may relinquish citizenship of their child but the natural born status returns if the child once again becomes a citizen of the US.

The only thing they cannot overcome is if he was actually born in Kenya as a Kenyan citizen. No getting around that....but they will do their best to find a way.

There is zero chance he will not be sworn in on time in January. None. Whatever political manuvering or language contortions they have to do to get him there, he will be there taking the oath.
