During a six-year period, 78 of Obama’s political appointees “burrowed” into career government jobs, per the same Government Accountability Office report. Of the seven who didn’t obtain the proper authorization, four were later denied their positions by OPM and three left their jobs.

I would say that the fact that they were not properly hired is cause enough.

There were very good reasons the founders said he could not be President.

He told us he was born a British subject because of his foreign national father.
He is not a natural born citizen.

Natural born citizen only.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because they could not be anything else.
No foreign parents(s)
No foreign birth
No foreign citizenship(s)
