We've already played this game. Only the House and Senate can do anything about high crimes and misdemeanors by the "president", and the Democrats have already demonstrated that they don't care even when the evidence is as plain as a stain with DNA confirmation. To use a favorite phrase of the socialists: Move on. Obama "won", and fair or not, qualified or not, citizen or not, none of that matters to the Democrats who have power - not when they now have power, the one thing they care about.

I am very interested to see and read how the MSM will report this. This thing has made it to the Supreme Court. Regardless of what happens, there will be repercussions.

I think this is one of the issues of the constitutional crisis... technically, he would NOT be the president... therefore, they could not impeach him. There would technically be "No legal authority" for ANY law that is passed during his administration.

Mr. Vieira explained although legal standing is difficult to get around in Federal courts, the document could be produced in any criminal cases stemming from legislation passed in the Obama administration.

“Let’s assume that an Obama administration passes some of these controversial pieces of legislation he has been promising to go for, like the FOCA (Freedom of Choice) Act,” said Mr. Vieira. “I would assume that some of those surely will have some severe civil or criminal penalties attached to them for violation. You are now the criminal defendant under this statute, which was passed by an Obama Congress and signed by President Obama. Your defense is that is not a statute because Mr. Obama is not the president. You now have a right and I have never heard this challenged, to subpoena in a criminal case, anyone who has relevant evidence relating to your defenses. And you can subpoena them duces tecum, meaning ‘you shall bring with you the documents.’ ”
