What does a constitutional lawyer do exactly? Can a constitutional lawyer work as an international lawyer?

Constitutional lawyers deal with cases that involved constitutional issues. That can be state and federal constitutions. Some laws and actions are potentially unconstitutional and the lawyers try to defend the law or actions saying it is constitutional and others try to fight a law as unconstitutional. Examples would be gay rights, women's rights (we don't have equal rights under the US constitution), abortion, and coming soon, the affordable/portable health care law. It could, potentially, involve constitutions of other countries. But that usually is a separate specialty called international law. Because you have to be current on a lot of stuff, it is usually difficult to practice both. If you want a good feel for it as a possible career, consider volunteering for your local ACLU chapter. That's all they do is protect people's constitutional rights, regardless of political or religious affiliation. (in contrast to what some people insist.) ACLU selects cases based on how many people are likely to be affected, not based on the money involved.

I think that Constitutional Lawyers like the ones professing to challenge Obama care are charletons. The US Constitution is a defining and limiting docuement. Why would you have to hire a lawyer to fuss over its interpretation. Constitutional lawyers don't do JACK, except BS. The ACLU has investors that determine which publicity cases are more profitable, and THEY only focus on the 14th amendment, which deals with the fictional creation known as the "person."

Could you? Yes, but it's a specialty. You will want to stick with the constitutional law or international law.
