What would a disqualification look like?

I'm sure the Obama camp would immediately appeal to the US Supreme Court, citing some vague "always thought he was an American" excuse, just like the family story he always thought was true about his uncle.

Then the MSM will drum up support for calling it an archaic "technicality" that should be overruled by the USSC because of the immense popularity of Obama, we're too far down the electoral road to disqualify him now, yada yada yada.

Then come the Schwarzenegger people who will ask, if Obama can get around the natural citizen rule, why can't Arnie? Or Jennifer?

Where does it stop?

The noforn stops with Hamilton. That entire chunk of the US Constitution was to keep Hamilton off the slate forever. No-one knew that Burr would put a cap in his ass.

It's an old, old fight.

USSC literally could not rule on this as it is in black and white in the Constitution. There is ZERO wiggle room for interpretation on this.
