What about the Fact that his Father was Not an American Citizen. That alone Makes Him Ineligible

Gee. Everybody knew that to be the case from the day Obama announced for the Presidency.

And not a single person -- no politician, no staffer, no attorney, no contender -- raised an objection. Nobody.

Why do you suppose that is?

Agreed. That is a valid point, at least to the extent that you and I believe that is what the founders/ratifiers intended. Please see my #57 above.

The difficulty with using that to impeach, convict and remove Obama in this term is based on the fact that our Congress, with full knowledge of the fact his father was not a U.S. citizen, sat on their hands and gave Obama a pass on that defect.

In any event, using that as the sole basis for removal would entail Congress recognizing it made a mistake and that it had to change its position. I believe the only way that will happen is in the unlikely event Congress applies to the USSC and it issues a clear opinion on the two parent requirement.

I am not sure that removing Obama on the basis of his being born outside of the U.S. would necessarily inflame the black community, and it even seems an insult to suggest it would. But if he is removed because the Congress changes it mind and decides they are going to enforce the law, I wouldn’t be surprised.
