I’m not going to argue the point. It just isn’t a hill I wish to stand on. I don’t care for Obama. I hope you are right and if not...I hope some other scandal brings him down. There is really no way to bring him down short of impeachment and removal from office by both houses of congress. The separation clause pretty much negates any action the Judiciary Branch may take against the Executive.

The Houses of Congress, who have the Constitutional power to remove presidents from office, wisely chose to delagate that power to the District Court of Washington, D.C. in cases of a possible usurper to the office of the Presidency. There a president can be sued, under Quo Warranto, to prove his/her eligibility.

There were two cases in the 19th century when U.S.Senators who were not eligible had to be removed from office. This method, Quo Warranto, was later chosen as it would remove cases from Congress where political considerations would interfere in a decision.
