Not any of the Executive Orders. The laws would stand only if they would have become law in the absence of a Presidential signature.
Article I, section 7 says: "If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law."

Just like a bad call on a football field which leads to the team that benefitted from the bad call winning the game, I fear that even if Obama is found ineligible, it won't negate the force of law of the Bills he signed into Law.
Why? Well, consider this. Let's say the officials in a football game do blow a call on the field. (But there wasn't unequivocal proof that they blew the call, and so the call stood.) Then, the team that benefited from that call, Team X, went on to win the game. Further, what if that win then propelled them to win the conference, and then the Super Bowl? Then, a day after the Super Bowl, a fan's video surfaces that proves the blown call was, in fact, wrong. What then? Do we then say, "my bad, do-over" and somehow attempt to roll back the clock? Is Team X's win of the Super Bowl somehow negated?
Similarly, once Barack Hussein Obama, hmm, hmm, hmm, was immaculated in January 2009, the game was over. It doesn't matter that he was ineligible to serve as President: he as installed as President. The bridge was crossed; the bridge was burned.
After all, there has to be a sense of credibility and stability in the interactions between nations, and in the interactions of citizens within a nation. There has to be a point in time where "do-overs" are dismissed because of the uncertainty and upset they would cause. Personally I'd love nothing more than for Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama to be summarily humiliated--and brought up on charges of fraud. I'd love nothing more than the stain of the last 4 years to be washed clean.
But surely that would lead to a slew of unintended consequences? If everything that Obama did was Null and Void, just what would that mean? To us as citizens, to our allies, and even to our enemies? Moreover, just who would get to decide what that means?
I have no idea. I'm not a lawyer. But I daresay that the upset and turmoil would be equisite.
Just my 2¢. Cheers.
