The Constitution vests Congress with sole authority to count the votes of electors, and decide who was elected President, and the sole authority to remove elected Federal Officers from office. So only Congress can remove BO from office.

The main body of the Constitution details the roles of those three branches of government. However there is a fourth branch reserved to the people and detailed in the Bill Of Rights, passed two years (1791) after the main body. The only place a grand jury is mentioned in the Constitution is in the Bill of Rights. It is not mentioned in the main body. The founding fathers did not do so by accident. They understood the necessity of granting the people of the power of the Grand Jury to keep in check a runaway government as we have currently. It is also known as a citizen's grand jury or runaway jury because the people have authority over the other branches through the Grand Jury. This powerful provision clearly establishes the court system as the mechanism for the people to use against the federal government.

Even if Birthers could ever prove their case, they would have to make it in Congress.

If that were true then BO's/BS's henchmen would have made that point from day one in the first lawsuit. Either his thugs have not made such an argument before any court or if they did it was rejected by the court. Also if this was true then at least one of the Judges who have ruled on the numerous lawsuits would have unequivocally made such a conclusion. Instead the rulings have been based primarily on the issue of standing or some other reason. None have told the parties involved this can only be resolved by Congress.

I'm sorry. I thought perhaps you were a serious person, and had asked me a serious question. My error. You, and Walter Mitty, and the rest, can can go play make believe Grand Jury, or play make believe litigation with Orly Taitz, or plead your case with the Justice League:

Give my regards to Wonder Woman. Perhaps you can have her put her golden lasso around BO, and make him tell the truth.

Meanwhile, Freepers who want to do something constructive, and and not play make believe, will work in the upcoming election.
