No, we got to write our own citizenship laws, and those laws preclude anyone whose born, United States citizenship is in doubt from attaining the Presidency. Obama being born a British citizen means doubt. Obama’s father not even being a resident alien means doubt.

Before the public voted and the electors voted and the House counted the electoral votes, it was stipulated that his daddy was a Kenyan. And he was sworn in without a peep. Making the case that Zero is ineligible based on the admitted facts and a set of arcane legal theories is a total waste of time at this point.

Questioning his eligibility based on new facts is difficult, but has an outside chance of engaging the public interest, which is critical to any possibility of success. But even if he were found to have been born in Kenya, the Supreme Court would cite separation of powers and toss the hot potato in Congress's lap. No way would the Court order him removed on their own initiative. What would happen next would be entirely a function of the public mood, which in turn would be a function of his overall approval rating and how deceived folks felt in the wake of the factual (not the legal) revelations.
