If it revealed that Obama was not qualified to be potus wouldn’t that negate every law and executive order he’s every written?
Anything he signed is my understanding
I’m not a lawyer, but guessing no.
For laws, a President can sign bills into law or let become law without signature. The interesting cases are the bills he vetoed. Do those become law as a result?
For appointments, those happen with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Senate is the approving authority. I think all of those stay, to include SCOTUS judges.
If Obama wasn’t qualified (and knowingly so) the area I would focus on is his ordering of the US Armed Forces to engage in acts of war (e.g. drones) that resulted in the deaths of people. I think there’s a word that describes the unlawful taking of human life...
My 1 1/2 cents,
No. The law has a widget called "de facto officer doctrine" that deals with this sort of mistake. See some discusison in Ryder v. United States, 515 U.S. 177 (1995) for example.
The de facto officer doctrine confers validity upon acts performed by a person acting under the color of official title even though it is later discovered that the legality of that person's appointment or election to office is deficient. Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425, 440 (1886). "The de facto doctrine springs from the fear of the chaos that would result from multiple and repetitious suits challenging every action taken by every official whose claim to office could be open to question, and seeks to protect the public by insuring the orderly functioning of the government despite technical defects in title to office." 63A Am. Jur. 2d, Public Officers and Employees S: 578, pp. 1080-1081 (1984)
Application of the de facto officer doctine was REJECTED in the Ryder case, but it's a cinch it would be applied if the fact of Obama's ineligibility ever became officially accepted.
Yes
If it revealed that Obama was not qualified to be potus wouldn’t that negate every law and executive order he’s every written?
