I don't think there is any chance in hell that SCOTUS will touch this. If Obama were found to be ineligible, it would shake our country to it's core. If everything he has signed as president were suddenly invalid all the budget bills would be invalid. How would you resolve all the laws being invalid and all the money that has already been spent?

It could easily completely crash our economy, and devolve our government into utter chaos.

If several states legislate strict methods of proving eligibility to get on the ballot, then Obama would either have to prove eligibility in the next election, or come up with a reason to not run again.

However, I see absolutely no chance that if he isn't eligible that we will ever see it proved.

IMHO... I think Chief Justice is the one who tipped the scales against hearing this and perhaps this may have changed, with world events unfolding as they are.

As far as invalidating his acts thus far, members of Congress can have their staffs negotiate between themselves and come up with whatever is needed and pass it. Obviously, Obama's strongest supporters could create a large unrest if he was impeached. I think it seems like as this and other aspects of Obama start caving in on him, the Democrats not supporting him to run again seems more likely. It appears though that world events are making some people in high places concerned that him staying in office two more years may not work. If evidence of his ineligibility is not made public, it will be within a few decades.

Looks to me like before the next election cycle gets into full swing he may be asked to offer his resignation, which could make the whole ineligibility issue disappear for a few decades. I would think that would have to happen before a SCOTUS ruling, though. That would take all the wind out of the sails of unrest because he was forced out.

Perhaps - perhaps - the handwriting is starting to appear on the wall ?

If you think that if he is allowed to usurp the Presidency and take the country to hell, it is preferable to keep on with the illegitimate fraud? You're out of your mind. The country is already shaking to the core and ruination is happening right now.

“If Obama were found to be ineligible, it would shake our country to it’s core”
It may take just that. We cannot just sweep this under the rug. All wrongs must be corrected, otherwise we are no longer a Republic.
