A presidential recall and new election.

Nothing in the Constitution allows for a recall or a new election. Odds are it's President Biden for the duration. And if Biden gets tossed too, then God help us but it's President Pelosi.

Hopefully, both Biden and Pelosi will also be complicit in this whole scam and be forced to resign.

Not if Biden is there long enough to have to appoint a new Vice President.

I don’t know if anyone actually cast a vote for Joe Biden...I could be wrong...

I actually voted FOR Sarah Palin, John McCain just happened to be on the ticket...

Therefore, if by some impeachable or ineligability offense, Obama would therefore be removed from office and Biden would vacate the Naval Observatory because he was on the ticket...Not on the ballot...

So I believe in a legal proceeding the line of succession goes to Madam Speaker in this case, and so on and so forth...

And it would only be for the time until a special election is conducted, and at the completion of that, she would revert to her position in Congress...

But, in reality, we all know nothing will come from any of this...

Would you agree that we need to consentrate on the local elections (You have those in your state don’t you this year “Non-Sequitur”, I’m just asking, not sure of the scope in your neck of the woods) and get the turnaround started this year...Then its on to November 2010...

2012 will probably take care of itself for a variety of reasons...

President Biden will retroactively approve all that Obama did. Nothing in the Constitution allows for a recall or a new election. Odds are it's President Biden for the duration. And if Biden gets tossed too, then God help us but it's President Pelosi.

Section 3 of the 20th Amendment states: “...if if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.”

From this, if Biden is disqualified as well, the normal succession train doesn't apply, so Pelosi would not be president. Instead, Congress would have to pass a law determining who would be only "acting" president until the "qualified" winner of the presidental election process was determined.

Also, since there are no special instructions for how "a President shall have qualified," the presumption is that the normal procedure is still intact - i.e. an election. So if Obama is disqualified, that would nominally leave McCain as the qualified winner of the election.

However, in such a case there would certainly be a suit by Hillary that she had to run against an unqualified candidate who illegally sucked up votes that would have gone to her, and which would have enabled her to beat McCain. So there's a good chance that the whole election would be disqualified as tainted by fraud, and thus be required to be run again.

In the mean time, since the "acting" president (either Biden or someone specified by new Congressional law) would be prevented from being the "qualified" president, he would not have full presidential status, since the Constitution explicitly states that he exists only in order to be replaced.

So there is an argument that the only thing such an "acting president" could do is preside of the determination of the next "qualified" president, and not implement or change anything on his or her own - including signing bills. That, in fact, bill-signing could only be done by a "qualifed" president.

This might be seen as especially relevent since Obama has had such an enormous influence over the creation and implementation of these various monster bills. So their very existence could be interpreted as tainted and therefore disqualified by his fraud. Which would mean they not only would not be signable by the "acting" president, they might also have to be struck down as illegitimate creations altogether.
