A progressive/liberal/Democratic congress can trump any clear meaning of the Constitution.

Even if the law stated he was not a citizen, as long as there are liberals around to interpret documents the Constitution says exactly what they want it to say.

If the electors elect him and if Congress doesn’t object, he will be sworn in.

To the extent it conflicts with Article II, if it does, yes. That's what amend means.

No. There is no conflict between the 14th Amendment and Article II in this discussion. If Obama was indeed born in the US, that would be the end of the argument; he'd be a "natural-born citizen" and would be constitutionally qualified. Problem is that his place of birth has not been documented by a bona fide birth certificate or officially certified copy of such true birth certificate.
