Legislation cannot change the Constitution.

Two points:

  1. The Constitution doesn't define "natural born". So, Congress can simply rewrite the law to cure any problem a Kenyan birth would present.
  2. At this point in time, enforcement of eligibility is up to Congress. A majority of the House and two thirds of the Senate. Not gonna happen absent a tremendous uproar across the land.

Well, I understand your point, and I agree. But in this Bizarro world, don’t count on it. The Dems can simply pass legislation to clarify or redefine what is meant by natural born,and declare it constitutional.
