They don’t need to. Any court with authority to declare President-elect Obama ineligible (either ultimately, i.e. SCOTUS, or pending appeal, i.e. a lower federal court) would simultaneously stay implementation of the ruling until SCOTUS ruled on a proposal for how to proceed with electing a new President. Getting such a proposal drafted and approved would take longer than getting a Consitutional amendment passed, and in all likelihood the proposal would contain a delay feature to allow for a fast-tracked Constitutional amendment process to be carried out first, with the procedure for selecting a new President only to be used if the amendment failed.

The only possibility involving even temporary removal of President-elect Obama would be to place Biden in the office of President on a temporary basis, until the Consitutional amendment process (which Biden would fully support) was carried out. Biden would take orders from Obama during this period, and the only difference from having Obama in office would be extreme political instability, crashing financial markets, and gleeful Islamic terrorists taking full advantage of the chaos.

Since the election hasn't happened yet this would not happen. If Obama is ruled ineligible then when the electors meet they will elect someone else, I highly suspect it would be Hillary. Likely they would also keep Biden.

If this is not settled prior to the electors meeting the election by the electors would be ruled void and the ELECTORS would have to vote again not the people.

I think it very unlikely that 3/4’s of the states would ratify the amendment to the constitution many are talking about.

I think Mr. Obama has caused a real crisis in our country and should be ashamed. He should provide proof of his “natural born” status or simply not accept the office if offered to him.

It is very unlikely that he is natural born. Every day he is willing to spend more money on hiding the facts make me more suspicious. His having announced two different hospitals he was born in doesn't help matters. The fact that neither of the hospitals have a record of his birth does not help. The fact that at one time he was an Indonesian citizen does not help. The fact that he never did the paperwork prior to his 18th birthday to renounce his Indonesian citizenship does not help. In fact because he never renounced his Indonesian citizenship he may not be a US citizen at all.

Some will say it is simply an oversight, just paperwork, just ignore it. Just ignore the law.

This will be the MOST DIFFICULT case that the SCOTUS has ever had to look at. I have no idea what they will do, they will be damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Half of the country will be angered by this no matter what happens when the truth comes out.

I hate it.
