How can you impeach a person that is not legally a President? If you can prove it, just send the Sheriff in to send him to court and lock him up until he proves he is a legit citizen?

Everyone is making this so complicated.

The 12th Amendment to the Constitution says that whoever receives a majority of the Electoral College votes and has those votes counted and certified without written objections from at least one member of the House of Representatives and one US Senator “shall be President.” The only other requirement is to take the Oath of Office.
The time to stop an ineligible person is before the vote of the Electoral College. If not then, then in the period before the Counting and certifying of the Electoral College votes and if not then, then before the swearing in ceremony. After that, the person elected IS the President.
They can be removed by impeachment and trial in the Senate.
