True, someone would have to file a suit, and it would almost certainly have to be against a presidential or vice-presidential candidate, since those are the only cases where the distinction between “natural born citizen” and just plain “citizen” really comes into play.
But also, the suit would have to be filed by someone who has standing, and can demonstate actual harm. So I guess maybe the second place contender that loses to a candidate might be able to do it, for they could argue that, if the law was applied properly, they would have won the race, so they have actually been harmed by misapplication of the law.
I wouldn’t wager much money on the courts wanting to take such a case though.
Good point. What are the chances of the federal courts getting involved?
