Thanks for the correction, JD - you're better at history than I am!

I'll amend it to: that by the current laws of this country (including constitutions as laws), Mr. S. cannot be president. If the citizens of the US decide that they think that the situation that originally caused this definition of "who can be president" has changed, then the voters can take steps to bring this issue to a vote.

I see this as the same reasoning - if the the citizens of the US decide that they think that the situation that originally caused this definition of "who can marry" has changed, then the voters can take steps to bring this issue to a vote.

Note that the only change was "who can be president" to "who can marry". It's the same idea, IMO.
