Well, this has occurred to me, too. What happens if he is elected president and THEN he is discovered to be unqualified according to the clear statement of the U.S. Constitution?

Will he step down? Of course not. Will he be forced out on constitutional grounds? I doubt it, what with a Democrat controlled congress, a leftist press, and an Obama-loaded Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court of New Jersey voted 7-0 on a similar point of law when Frank Lautenberg was illegally put up at the last minute for election. What else could you expect in New Joisey, even from the Republican judges?

So, it’s clearly better to raise the question before this goes too far and Obama controls all the levers of power, much as clinton did earlier.

Also, the US Supreme Court refused to hear the New Jersey case, probably still feeling the sting from Bush v. Gore. Interesting that the USSC stopped the rogue FL Supreme Court from making it up as they went, but wouldn't do the same to NJ.
