“The Supreme Court is powerless to remove Obama after he’s been seated.”
The court has usurped much more than that. I suspect they could make the ruling and see what happens.

They have usurped, certainly — though, not necessarily to this extent (but, perhaps). Conservatives, however, did not support those judicial seizures of authority — why would we support this one?

I’ll tell you what will happen — the Court will have the power to determine what is a “high crime and misdemeanor”, and seize the authority to eject a President — by declaring him “unqualified”.
Every single conservative President from now until judgment day will be required to undergo periodic Supreme Court removal proceedings. Every two-bit liberal attorney and ACLU hack will initiate random “removal” proceedings for trumped up charges (War crimes, domestic surveillance, complicity in 9-11, torture, cannibalism, blah, blah, blah ...).
And, instead of impeachment being limited to 435 elected officials with two-year terms ... the authority will now rest in NINE unelected unaccountable Judges.
This would be a LOUSY precedent to set.
