But the person in question must have first met the Article II sec. 1 clause 5 conditions for eligibility for the office.
It says right there in black and white, whoever has the most votes for President shall be the President.
Any issues with regard to eligibility were clearly left to the political process. That that process may not have done as thorough a job as you would have liked doesn't change the fact that Obama is President and to date, no constitutional authority has deemed otherwise.

That does NOT negate the previous requirements of the office.
Why is that so hard for you to understand?

, whoever has the most votes for President shall be the President. If Mickey Mouse got the most votes, would that make him President? If Putin got the most votes, would that make him President? If Ahnold got the most votes, would that make him President? NO! Why? THEY DON'T MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS!

You're putting your cart before the horse here. You are the one with it backwards. Eligibility, other than getting the majority of the electoral college votes is outside the political process. Selecting electors is within it. The Legislatures of the states, political bodies, appoint the electors. The other requirements to be President are just that, Requirements. Absolute requirements at that.
