Then Bush could tell obama to produce his COLB, and if it is not valid, he would promise to pardon him from "fraud" charges, providing he step down from the "Office of the President Elect" immediately.

Seriously though, let's suppose they find out that the COLB is a fraud and obama was not a natural born citizen, who initiates charges against a sitting president and can he pardon himself? If it's the Congress, then finding the COLB won't don't any good because they won't throw him out.

I'm guessing it would be up to the supremes.

If such a thing does happen, and they don't throw him out, it change "Election 08" to "Coup 08"...cause that's what it will be. TAking office by fraud or force...

If by some miracle SCOTUS so finds, then Obama is no longer the President. Period. He cannot pardon himself and anything Obama did is subject to challenge.
