Orrin Hatch’s proposed Constitutional amendment to make non-native-born citizens eligible for the Presidency hasn’t even had its first committee hearing, and Eugene Volokh is already disclaiming any interest in the job.

Eugene might be better fitted for the Chief Justiceship than for the Presidency, but the Republicans could certainly do much worse.
Indeed, they certainly will.
