If a person isn’t a natural born citizen they can’t be, and aren’t, president.

It is speculated, not proven or ruled on, that Obama doesn't qualify for the office of president.

How is it possible to impeach someone who isn’t president?

Impeach means to make an accusation against. To prove Obama illegally occupies the oval office he must first be impeached, the charges against him investigated, and if there is sufficient evidence to support the charge, tried in the Senate.

They would be instead a usurper,a traitor, or foreign enemy.

If you honor the Constitution and the rule of law, then you must uphold the Constitution by following the process it provides. We are not yet a banana republic.

In short, Obama is president until it is proven he doesn't qualify. This is pretty basic stuff; if you didn't get it in school, then you should have been informed during the Clinton impeachment when it was reported on and discussed ad nauseum.

Why the insult?

I have read the opinions of the lawyers here on Free Republic from both sides ( both the afterbirters and the defenders of the Constitution). Given the heated discussion and long posts sprinkled with links, I conclude that this isn't “basic” stuff. Anyone with minimal reading comprehension skills would understand this. ( My turn for an insult.)

So...During WWII, during the Battle of the Bulge, when Hitler dressed up his soldiers as military officers and sent them behind our lines, did that make these men American officers? **If** Obama is found through discovery, not to be a natural born citizen, ( or even a citizen at all) then he can dress himself up in the “uniform” of the White House, but that doesn't make him a president. There are those who disagree with you. Impeachment is reserved for valid presidents.

At this point, we must now agree to disagree.
