I don’t understand why you would say that Obama’s laws, etc. would not be void. If he wasn’t legitimate, then game over, his signature on EVERYTHING would be null and void. If we went with your theory that Congress would have to repeal laws, etc. we would have to assume that Congress would actually do that. I don’t think that you are correct because what would also assume that they would be honest enough to do that.. Why would anyone else be deterred from doing this again except make sure that they have enough Congressmen and Senators to NOT repeal their laws.

It doesn’t make sense. It would be like my writing checks from your bank account and forging your name. I could write checks to friends & family and then it would just be on the honor system that they would return the money? No, it would be found that the checks were not legitimate and the checks would be found to be null and void.

Also, we can’t impeach someone who was never legitimate in the first place. He would be removed from office as well as Joe Biden. Boehner would be put in as President (thank God Nancy Pelosi isn’t Speaker anymore!!)

I’m not a lawyer, but I have been following this story for several years and I have never heard anyone say those things before.....

It’s just what the law is, as developed over centuries going back to English common law.

Under this legal doctrine, even though it is later discovered that a government official who holds color of official title to his office by virtue of a known election or appointment failed to meet a prerequisite of holding office, such as an eligibility requirement, nevertheless actions taken by him within the scope and by the apparent authority of that office will be considered valid and binding.

There is an argument to be made under the language in the cases that once the citizenry is on notice of the defect in the office-holder, that they are not entitled to rely on official acts and from that point on the acts should be considered void.

However, because the MSM has ignored or ridiculed this at least as of now I would not say that the citizenry at large is as aware of this, as say, the TomKat divorce, so I don’t think we are yet in a position to apply that aspect of the case law.

Obama was elected and sworn in despite being ineligible. Once that was done, then game over. The laws he signed stand. I wish it were otherwise.

"He would be removed from office as well as Joe Biden. "

For what reason would Biden be removed? Not that I would want the idiot to remain...
