Your reply was missed. I re post the exchange here, and now. Awaiting ...
By the way, where in the Constitution does it say that , “ Birthers are a huge waste of time. Even if Zero had been born in Mombasa of a tramp from Liverpool and BHO, Sr., it would still require a majority of the House and two thirds of the Senate to remove him (Chief Justice Roberts, in his best robes, presiding, but not voting, of course). “ ?
Whatever, does this, arguing against the majority opinion, suit you?
It's all laid out in Article I. The House has the sole power to impeach, and the Senate the sole power to try an impeachment and remove the President. And when the President is the defendant, the Chief Justice presides over the festivities and counts the votes to make sure there are two-thirds.
The Supreme Court does not get to remove the President, even if the case is open and shut. Which this one isn't. First, it's pretty clear he was born in Hawaii. And, second, if they were ever to take up directly the question of who is a natural born citizen, it is very likely they would conclude it is simply anyone who was a citizen at birth. Even if they were to support some version of Vattel's definition, at this point, they'd have to sell it to Nancy and Harry and the requisite number of critters in the two houses of Congress.
