I doubt scotus would find the congress acted unconstitutionally. They most certainly carried out their duties under the constitution.

Even Pelosi I think cannot be held responsible as she could have been duped. I don’t think she had info that Obama would possible not qualify as an NBC. So she rubber-stamped him through.

So I don’t see congress being struck down by scotus even though I believe congress needed to be more discerning. IF all this pans out that Obama is not an NBC, then I can see a spate of new laws passed governing how congress reviews the qualifications of candidates.

IF again this were to pan out to be that Obama is not an NBC, then the case would focus on Obama and what he knew/when he knew it, and others who were in on it.

However, the question is interesting as to whether he would be ‘removed’ or ‘deposed’. I can see the White House security locking him out and all government departments refusing to recognize him.

It’s anyone’s guess how the country would find and elect a new president. It seems Biden might make a claim, but I see IF it occurs, I see it would be a constitutional crisis with scotus deciding how to proceed forward.

I would add that if scotus ruled that Biden could not ascend, then in fact Pelosi would be recognized as President. That would be horrible. On the other hand people do not like Pelosi at all, and if there were a special election cslled, then may just maybe we could get a real conservative in. Sarah Palin?

However, if Pelosi could be implicated in the duplicity of all this, then there may be grounds for her to be blocked from ascending.

Too bad we don’t have a Republican House or Senate, for then we could have happy prospects by way of members like Senator Demint or any Republican conservative in Congress.

Irrelevant. That they followed procedure won't save Obama as POTUS, any more than following procedure saves any other Unconstitutional Act of Congress. Having followed required procedure is not the standard; it's whether or not the effect/semantics of the Act fall within Constitutional limits. Confirming an electoral college vote for a person Constiutionally incapable of being POTUS fails that test. End of discussion.
