>>> Impeachment is the only constitutional way to get him out now.

You cannot Impeach an illegitimate president, because the legislature is responsible for putting him there!

It would be like Suing yourself for screwing up!

The Judicial Branch must declare him illegitimate and order actions by the executive branch (under the president) to have him removed.

Sure you could. He ran for President under fraudulant circumstances. Fraud is certainly a "High Crime or Misdemeanor".

I've read the USC a few times in my life. The only provision for removing a sitting president is impeachment in the House, conviction in the Senate.

either of the two other branch’s has the power to remove the president in this case. Judicial Branch or congress.

That would require a 2/3 vote, of course, in Congress, to override a veto. Yes, there would be a Constitutional Crisis if Obama vetoed such a vote.

However, there is also the Constitutional Succession rules.

If the Cabinet determined that he was not able to perform his duties -—

Isn't Hillary at least one vote, in that regard? :)
