You write:
Campaign all you like, but there is no provision in the Constitution for the recall of the president. The mechanism for removing a president from office is impeachment.

I respond:
Impeachment for one who is lawfully the President.

Recall for one who is ineligible to have been elected to the office through lies regarding citizenship.

So you say. You're making it up out of whole cloth.

Who would certify the petitions, vet the signatures, and schedule the election? Who would count and certify the votes? Whatever answer you might give is one you're inventing. The Constitution is very specific about the means of getting a president (or any federal elected official) into and out of office, and recall doesn't appear anywhere in it.

You can't have it both ways. You can't, on the one hand, cite the Constitution as the authority that Obama is ineligible to hold office and then demand an extraconstitutional means of removing him.
