Before obama can be declared ineligible to be President , it first has to get into court. No case so far that has been dismissed based on the merits of the case. Therefore you have no basis for your argument. The Indiana case was based on a bad interpretation of the Ark and the Minor cases. It is pure B.S. and has no affect on the Constitution.

The time to stop someone who is ineligible is BEFORE they assume the office. Either you don’t let an ineligible candidate on the ballot or you don’t certify the electoral college votes of an ineligible President-Elect. As a final recourse, you don’t administer the Oath of Office to a President-Elect who is ineligible.
The Indiana case was adjudicated as a dismissal for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted. That IS a dismissal based on the merits of a case. The Appeals Court upheld the ruling of the trial court.
The basis of my argument is that there is one more adjudicated lawsuit with a holding that “a person born within the borders of the United States is a ‘natural born citizen’ for Article II, Section I purposes regardless of the citizenship of their parents” than there has been a lawsuit holding that two American citizen parents ARE required in order to qualify as a natural born citizen for Article II, Section 1 purposes. The Ankeny decision adds to the body of case law on this topic. Each judge hearing future cases will decide for themselves whether this case has precedential merit.
