"If they determine that someone born with foreign allegiance owed is not eligible, then it would be up to someone else to "remove" him (presumably law enforcement since impeachment doesn't apply to usurpers) if he didn't remove himself voluntarily.

"Law enforcement" would be shredded by minigun fire should they attempt such.

Only Congress can remove a president. It says so in the Constitution. What part of "sole power" do you not understand?

Um, hello cynwoody! You there? Did you read my post that YOU even cited?

Now tell me...if one is ruled NOT the "President"...what in the Constitution gives the Congress the authority and responsibility to remove a usurper?

He's still the president, even if sworn in while ineligible. The Constitution is quite explicit on how the president becomes president and how he may be removed. Even if the Supreme Court found him ineligible, they would leave his removal up to Congress. They take separation of powers seriously (and they'd be very glad to be relieved of a very hot potato!).
