I can’t say that, somewhere out there in the Federal Judiciary, there’s not a federal judge who would agree with you. If such a person does exist, he might try to declare that Obama is not President. Certainly, given some of the rulings that come out of federal court, that scenario can’t be discounted. I just don’t think that it will happen, even if ironclad evidence is presented.

If that were to happen, I think that Obama would give a response very much like the one that Jackson made, “Mr. Marshall has issued his decision, now let him enforce it.” In other words, such a declaration would go nowhere, either because Obama would ignore it or a higher court would overturn it. So, we are back to the impeachment route.

Disclaimer: All of this is solely my opinion. No proof is offered or implied.

The operative word is "if" from my above post.

If the Supreme Court found that Obama's presidency was unconstitutional, I bet there would be plenty of Federal judges who would issue a warrant for his arrest when presented with proof, and the laws that he violated or is in violation. The same proof that the Supreme Court found that Obama was not eligible to be president.

So, we are back to the impeachment route.

You'd find many federal officers at that point who would honor their oath to protect and defend the US Constitution against foreign and domestic enemies. Obama is not a king. They take no oath to uphold Obama in office if he is found to be in violation of the US Constitution. Congress may go through the motions to impeach and convict Obama, but he would be less than a captain Duncell as he would not be president...because he never was.

One assumes the case would go to the Supreme Court, but once the Supreme Court ruled (hypothetically) that he was ineligible, who is going to obey the orders of an ineligible usurper, beyond his own appointees? Federal Marshals, the military, even the Secret Service are bound to obey the orders of the President, not a usurper.
