-- This is not and will not be treated as a political matter. If he is ineligible, this is a LAW ENFORCEMENT matter. --

I think it's a unique form of political question, on account of the mechanism used to seat and remove political figures.

A parallel is the power of Congress to unseat its own members - once unseated, they can call the cops to enforce a trespass action. But unseating is a prerequisite.

So with the president, Congress seats the person, Congress is supposed to insure the person is qualified, and there is a big gaping hole as to how to react when Congress is derelict.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I doubt that our Founding Fathers ever imagined that the entire congress would be a united treasonous front.
