On the subject of natural born citizen

After some thought on the subject, I'd say the Supreme Court needs to review it.  Those who are serious about this subject need to find a way to get it before the Court.

Nobody has the right to be President.  That would be an impossibility.  Therefore, any decision heretofore made on the subject of citizenship isn't enough to answer the questions as to eligibility to be President.  It isn't enough to say one is a citizen or a natural born citizen, but whether or not certain classes of people should be President or not.

This doesn't sound fair, but it can't be fair.  It is intrinsically unfair.  There can be only one President.  Not one for each preference nor one for each group.  Everybody can't have their own President.  Not if you want a single undivided country.  Otherwise, you get the Confederacy.  Seems like we've been down that road once already.

Update:

Indeed, it isn't a right to govern, but a privilege.  The privilege to govern is granted, but not a right to govern.
