The only mechanism the Constitution provides for removing a president is impeachment and conviction.

Requires majority vote of House, possible but really unlikely. And 2/3 vote of Senate, quite beyond the realm of possibility.

There is no other way. What the Senate could have done is refuse to certify his election until he provided adequate proof he met the requirements. But that’s obviously water over the bridge at this point.

What we absolutely do not need is a court decision voiding the election, unlikely as such a decision is. The judicial branch has already grabbed too much power. We don’t need it being the final court of appeal in presidential elections, something with absolutely no justification in the Constitution.

Or voting him out after one term.

True enough, but what if Obama is not by law the president due to his ineligibility to legally hold the office.
