On the basis of a literal reading of Article II, Sec. 1, par. 5 ("no person . . . shall be eligible"), a finding that Obama is not eligible to hold the office ought to effectively result in a legal holding that the office is vacant. He isn't there. He is a squatter in the White House and the Federal Marshal ought to remove him; if the Marshal doesn't have the firepower, the military ought to do so.

You don't need to impeach him--he doesn't hold the office because he is not eligible.

So far, no court has kicked one of the challenge cases out on this basis either.

So I guess I am less concerned about the remedy than I am about the proceeding to get him out.

I have assumed that you could get the Speaker of the House to call a Joint Session or to reconvene the Joint Session held in January to hear a motion to reconsider the vote affirming certification of the Electoral College vote. Someone earlier suggested that wasn't possible but I didn't understand the legal analysis that supported the view.

Thank you for the post.
