> Obama is constitutionally ineligible to be ELECTED to the office of president. <

Now that’s interesting. I wonder why they said “elected to”, and not “eligible for”. I guess they were just a little careless there.

From the 22nd A:

“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice...”

I can’t think of anyone that tags all your listed prerequisites. Anyone in mind?

I still think Hillary might be it....but only if they can get ‘national mail-by-vote’, because then it’d be a shoe-in for her due to massive vote fraud.

Of course it is possible. It is not even a sure thing that the USSC could declare it unConstitutinal. The writers of the Amendment did not envision such a scenario and did not including wording explicitly forbidding it.

This was already discussed on Saturday, and as someone pointed out, the 12th amendment excludes Obama:

"But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

The 12th amendment was ratified in 1804.
