The court can define the qualifications laid out in the constitution. Then I agree congress would have to act to remove him.

I would add that the various Secretaries of State did not do anything on this issue.

We are slowly and surely losing the idea of being a nation of laws and just one of political power. Maybe we have always been that way

Very good answer. I’m glad somebody sees past the facade of the birther movement and recognizes it as a political animal.

The SCOTUS has no enforcement power. They cannot annul the election, they cannot order the President to resign and they cannot order somebody to replace the President and they cannot compel Congress to impeach the President. Given that, I fail to see why SCOTUS would even consider reviewing the case — if it ever got that far. — It would merely add Fuel to the Political Crisis.
