"I saw some discussion around that zero’s poison pill is to PROVE he was ineligible and thus cannot be prosecuted for high crimes and misdemeanors he committed. With our luck, he’s right, and neither can his cabinet be prosecuted as they were unknowingly following illegal orders from an ineligible president."

I disagree. High crimes and misdemeanors are high crimes and misdemeanors. Crimes are crimes.

Point being: if you were illegitimate they would not be high crimes. Just some discussion I was reading.

>>high crimes and misdemeanors<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

According to Mark Levin, a Constitutional lawyer and scholar, the “high crimes and misdemeanors” are “Constitutional crimes,” and have nothing to do with the criminal justice definition of crimes.

They are a different animal.

The concept came down from English Law and was debated thoroughly by the framers.

Additionally he would then become a true enemy combatant and trying to bring down the US government with all of his co-conspirators, Treason and Sedition

The cool part and I have been wondering about this is if indeed he was never “legally” President then any/all actions and laws he signed while in office are de facto dead as he was not lawfully authorized to do so

Think about the ramifications of an instant unwind of all the Obozo actions...

Mind Boggling, and all of his co-conspirators...

Let that sink in ....

Mmmm

Yummy
