Not sure it will make much difference...the most likely effect will be a lawsuit with standing to determine once and for all if a person with a father who is not a US citizen qualifies as a natural born citizen. And I suspect Congress would weigh in preemptively and pass a resolution answering that in the affirmative.

Does anyone know whether Obama could just walk into Federal court and say that the Arizona statute is void because Arizona can’t establish such procedures for Federal elections, only Arizona state elections?
