There are two issues:

(1) BHO,Jr. is not a Natural Born Citizen. He knows it, You know it. I know it, and I presume the Electors knew it. One simply must assume they know as much about the Constitution as you and I.

(2) Most being lawyers, they have a defense (of sorts). That is, they voted for him, making him the de facto POTUS. As Electors, they "may" have challenged, which they "may" construe as a discretionary act.

Their theory may well be that once installed by them, regardless of his eligibility, only they have the power to remove him. Let us say that the actions under way to petiton for a Writ of Quo Warranto are granted, and the courts, up to and including SCOTUS find him to have been ineligible. The courts cannot remove him, only Congress can, if they so desire and vote. And, choosing not to remove him, they can always say, with a very small degree of plausibility, that the "Natural Born Citizen" clause has never been defined. That's somewhat correct, but what a "Natural Born Citizen" isn't, is actually quite clear.

I truly fear that the courts and Congress will muck about until the end of the impostor's term. This is a terrible Constitutional crisis at the heart of the Separation of Powers. The courts may try and dodge the bullet. It's the easy way out. Also, if the situation approaches critical mass, BHO. Jr. just might quit ... or be allowed to quit before Congress does anything. Because, once this hits the DC Federal Courts, the cat just might be well and truly out of the bag with this guy.

Our elected representatives will have to sit up and take notice.

Look at the opening of the recent brief filed in Hollister v. Soetoro in the U. S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and the opening argument discussing the de facto officer doctrine and study the use of Interpleader and how it led the lower court judge to concede that he had subject matter jurisdiction, which, as admitted by Bauer, the couinsel for the One, in a prior appellate fiing, assumed standing. Here's the link to the posting on FR of the brief, which has since been filed again with errata corrected.

"Because, once this hits the DC Federal Courts, the cat just might be well and truly out of the bag with this guy."

Which is why I'll take "Never Makes It" for $100, Alex. LOL
Honestly, just watch what happens at that critical juncture, as sure as God made li'l green apples.

"Our elected representatives will have to sit up and take notice."

Good grief Kenny, if only it were true. LOL
I'm just not so sure.

First off, are they ours?
Could've fooled me.

Second the dandies posing as "our elected representatives" STH don't like being told what they'll have to do, Kenny. LOL
(Explaining why they either do the wrong thing, or nothing. LOL)

FWIW, I pray your prediction's right.
