There is no precedence for disqualifying a president AFTER he has been elected...

GOOD !!

Then the courts can't step out on a "stare decisis" prior ruling, and will have to rule based on the Original Intent.

The "election" of the president is actually when the electors meet. Isn't that in December? As for disqualification, the US Constitution is the supreme law. What's to argue with that?

True, but I believe the US Code on the Electoral College provides for "raising objections" when the electoral ballots are counted on January 6th. I'll try to find the exact wording.

Actually he has to meet the criteria for eligibility to become the President (some of which are 35 years or older and a NATURAL born citizen of this Country)....if he doesn’t meet the criteria then the number two guy on the winning ticket becomes the President....

If you read the decision by the judge that threw out Berg's lawsuit there is. Apparently it's the job of the electoral college to question and investigate eligibility. Or something along those lines.

Actually it's precedent, and the rules even for this are already laid out. The electors right to vote for the President in the December vote casting election is ABSOLUTE. After that then Presidential succession rules come into play.

If O does win the vote and then is disqualified in December, the Dem electors could theoretically vote for anyone they want including Hillary.

You should read the law before you post.

Sure there is. It was done in 1861 and may have to be done again if a Kenyan or Indonesian citizen defrauds his way to the White House.
