True regarding Congress re: removal of a sitting President.

However...why would he be removed? Presumably, for not being eligible...right? If he's not now, nor ever was eligible to the POTUS...how could be be POTUS? He couldn't.

Therefore, not even Congress would have authority here, to remove him. Ultimately, he would either need to "walk away" (similar to Nixon) from the office...or he would have to be arrested by Federal Marshall's or some other Federal office of law enforcement.

Definitely a Constitutional Crisis!

Constitutional, financial, or moral — this presidency is definitely a crisis!

And prosecuted for fraud and many other things like any common criminal.

Actually, she addresses this issue of who would/could remove him from office. She states perhaps military police, around mark 39:00 in the pod-cast.

If he is not eligible and none of the ‘officials’ have the guts to do thier job, who’s left except the american people.
The one’s our constitution speaks of throughout it’s text.

I guess it will be the ‘good’ men standing up to evil that end this.
