You are %100 correct!
This would be a can of worms from hell.
Obama found ineligible would not have been able to legally select his running mate, Biden.
All cabinet members would be null and void as well as ALL judge appointments(2 on SCOTUS)
All laws and executive orders, null and void.
Personally as a taxpayer would demand restitution of all costs incurred from legal fee’s to use of Air Force one including the vacations and parties at the WH.
Then there’s the question of the chain of command order of succession. The constitution never figured on such a scenario and always assumed for a qualified candidate.
Since Biden couldn’t legally ascend would it then become John Boehner as President (could live with that for 2 years no prob)
Next would be to try and sort out the accomplices.
Nancy Pelosi? All 50 sec of state?
I’d bet the judges that have been presented with these cases have all pondered these very same ramifications realizing that opening up this can, especially this late into the game just isn’t worth it. Essentially for the same reason that after Clinton was impeaches was never punished, for the good of the country.
There is movement afoot in state legislatures to pass legislation demanding neccessary proof of qualifications for candidacy. Obama will be faced with 2 options. Release his records to run for re-election, or keep them hidden and not be allowed to run again and most likely bow out for health reasons or some BS.
Hypothetically lets say he decides to release his records, what do they show?
A) he is in fact a natural born American citizen.
B) he is NOT a natural born citizen.
C) he is a natural born citizen who fraudulently received grants/monies to attend the colleges that his transcripts would show.
There has to be a link why both the birth certificate and transcripts are both being kept locked away and the truth probably is somewhere between answers b and c. NOBODY is going to spend the kind of money he has in legal fees to keep these records hidden unless there is some very damning info contained therein.
So, assuming he releases those records and hopes for the best, what have we got?
A) Born in Kenya, case closed.
B) Proof he committed fraud.
either way he loses.
Open that can of worms and then stomp on them.

You are not thinking deviously enough.
There is a third possibility — Obama’s father is a married US citizen who had a dalliance with Obama’s mother; they brought in Obama Sr. for a sham marriage to make Obama legit. And the (sealed) birth certificate names the married man.
Obama would do anything to prevent that truth from becoming public — his public persona (e.g., Dreams from my Father) could not recover this hit.
If Obama does become a one term president, his bona fides will be protected better than anything.
