No wonder you call yourself Triple.

A court might indeed have the authority to review the facts and issue a ruling on them. What it does not have is any power to effect a remedy. No court has the power to remove a president from office.

The Constitution specifically and intentionally gives that power to Congress.

“No court has the power to remove a president from office.” - SL

The courts find that the office of president is legally vacant.

It is anyone’s guess as to the actual body that taps him on the shoulder and says back to Chicago, before we throw you in jail. It could very well be the event that initiates impeachment hearings. What is O going to say? “You can’t impeach me, because I’m not actually president?”

Do you chase your tail often?

A court may not have the legal power, but a ruling that a President is not legitimate would have a defacto power beyond that granted them by the constitution. Such a ruling would make it impossible for Congress to refuse to take action.

It would end up working out the same as if the court WERE granted that power by the Constitution. The Usurper would be deposed.

Oh, so the remedy the courts can absolutely deliver is to take any ineligible candidate off the ballot.

Do you really think the courts should only enforce *some* of the laws? (The ones the executive branch agrees to uphold.)

Nice logic and evasion - keep it coming. ;-)
