The purpose of the age provision is to limit the pool of candidates from which the electors select presidents to persons who are 30 years old or older.

Really? You don't say.

What makes you think that Supreme Court justices would be unanimous in choosing the same precise definition of the NBC clause?

Who said anything about NBC?

The point raised is that eligibility is a matter of law decided judically. Courts can and have removed ineligible persons.

The remainder of your post amounts to "Oh bosh", which doesn't address a single point raised.

No court has ever removed a president of the U.S. or even hinted that it might someday try to seize such a power. In our country, it's not a judicial function.

Listen, you shouldn't be too concerned that I disagree with your analysis. Your concern should be that the Supreme Court doesn't seem to agree with your analysis. The justices just don't seem to be conducting themselves as they might if they wanted to try to claim the powers that you want to give them. You might just trust that they know as much about their powers as you do.

So, your energy might be better used urging the House to impeach Obama. Congress clearly has the power to impeach a sitting president.

Or, you can just hang in there and cope as best you can until 2017 when we will have a new president. Whatever you do, don't let your frustration cause you to be miserable.

Good luck! ;-)
