    Considering the 14th is also where the insurrection clause resides, I suspect, the majority of voters don’t exactly adhere too closely to that particular amendment.

      Even with a favorable court this would be difficult because of how US elections work. There is nothing saying a naturalized citizen can’t run for president, just that they can’t hold the office.

      A party would have to risk nominating an ineligible candidate, and that’s not something primary voters are going to want to do. Until that happens, there is no real mechanism to get a ruling from the courts since there is nobody with standing for a lawsuit.
