Be careful what you wish for. If Present Potato Head is not Constitutionally eligible to be Present of the United States, that also means he is not Constitutionally restricted to serving only two terms.

actually, it would mean he would be arrested for fraud and frog marched out of the office.

of course, the next step would be blacks rioting, the dollar tanking further, markets collapsing, and then the Constitutional crisis will begin... as they start to roll-back all legislation he has signed, executions orders he issue, and appointments he has made. anyone convicted under laws he signed would be re-tried (i think), and judges he appointed would have their cases re-tried (or thrown out). military personnel performing any ‘aggressive’ actions overseas would find themselves up for war crimes charges.

the list goes on.

since this is even a remote possibility, just to absolutely rule it out... his eligibility MUST be determined.

I concur.

If Present Potato Head is not Constitutionally eligible to be Present of the United States, that also means he is not Constitutionally restricted to serving only two terms.

Not necessarily. It means that Obama would become ineligible for the office of President, and consequently, he would be eligible to serve...zero terms. However, such a finding would create a Constitutional crisis unparalleled in recent decades, spurring "clarification" of the rules that may not be...exactly favorable to our viewpoint.

How can a usurper, ineligible for the first term in office to begin with, then 'serve' a second ?

SCOTUS is derelict, our Republic is in grave danger, and the usurper is making noise about starting an updated version of the SA.

This is NOT going to end well.

Completely ilegally incorrect.

You sound like a total Jackass. If he is found, by the Scotus, to not be eligible for the office of President, he cannot run for two terms, constitutionally, and his first term will be null and void. You win the prize for the most convoluted statement of the day, not to mention just plain nonsensical.
