The judiciary has no Constitutional authority to remove a sitting president - only impeachment in the House and Conviction in the Senate can do that. Effectively, if the court can't "fix it", or provide relief that the plaintiff is seeking, the original question becomes moot in the court's perspective. The otherside of the argument says if Obama never qualified to be president in the first place, in accordance with the 20th Amendment, therefore impeachment would not be necessary.
Just a thought.

"The otherside of the argument says if Obama never qualified to be president in the first place, in accordance with the 20th Amendment, therefore impeachment would not be necessary." The 20th or the 25th? In any event, I don't pretend to be a Constitutional scholar. To describe this question as one with profound Constitutional implications, would be a tremendous understatement.
