“That does not make sense to me. If he is ineligible, wouldn’t that mean he was not eligible, therefore, impeachment would not be in the cards. It seems to me that a Federal Marshall would come and drag his smarmy ass out of the White House?”
Constitutionally the only way a president can be removed from office is impeachment. The house might impeach him (but I doubt if the wimpy repubs there would have the guts to do it). Even if they did impeach, the senate would then need to convict with a two thirds majority. NO WAY are there enough dems in the senate with integrity for that to happen.
And all of the above is predicated on the SCOTUS declaring him ineligible and there isn’t a snowballs chance in hell that is going to happen. This entire thing is a pipe-dream. But after the election all I have left is dreams and the memories of the greatest nation in the history of civilization.
If he is ineligible now then he was when he ran for office.
If he is ineligible then he cannot be president and therefore is subject to arrest for fraud and another crimes by any county Sheriff or possibly the capitol hill police.
I think it is the 20th and the 25th amendments that govern the succession and requirements for president. It is pretty clear and scary (the succession list) because we may have to go back to 2008 to determine who ‘should’ be in, in that case. I am just guessing here.
If he is ineligible it seems right to me all laws signed by him, all exec orders, all treaties agreed to and whatever action he has taken or authorized would be null and void.
There would be turmoil ... no doubt the reason Biden is more prominent right now than before and DHS is loading up on ammo and ‘PDW’ not to mention the steps to disarm the populace.
Interesting times.
