One of the Constitutional issues concerns WHO SHOULD DECIDE whether a candidate has the qualifications to be president. That issue does not answer itself. The Court would be well advised to decide that the Constitution empowers electors (and not the courts) to measure the qualifications of candidates.
Courts have often decided that the Constitution entrusts to bodies other than courts the power to make final and binding decisions. As just one example, a court cannot reverse a jury's finding of not guilty in a criminal case even if a court is absolutely certain that the jury was wrong.
The Constitution clearly directs that electors should choose our presidents. The Supreme Court could easily rule that it has no power to review or to overturn the decisions of electors. And, if the justices have good sense, that is what they will do.

Suppose there is a person, who as a baby, was brought to the United States by ILLEGAL parents. Suppose we have such a person who was made a US citizen eventually due to some executive order. Suppose further such a person grows up and became a popular politician.
Suppose further that electors ( of whatever party ) choose him to be a candidate for Presidency.
Don’t laugh. In California, illegals have already been appointed to official city government commissions. See here:

Illegal immigrants are now allowed to practice law in both California and New York.

Suppose further, Principled conservatives file a lawsuit preventing such a person from running for President, arguing that only natural born citizens are qualified.
Don’t tell me the Supreme Court should rule that it has no power to overturn the decision of electors no matter how wrong they are....
If this is the case, it is possible that we might have lost the very meaning and intent of the Constitution.
