a judicial order to remove a sitting President would clearly violate Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution

Which gives no weight whatsoever to the Art. II, Sec. 1 requirement that in order to be a sitting President, one must be 35 or over, 14 years a resident of the US, and a natural born citizen.

But what do I know, I'm just a citizen, natural born in fact, with no standing to have the Constitution which I swore to support and defend enforced against domestic enemies.

I am not giving no weight to the Art. II Sec 1 requirements. I am simply stating that, once an individual has been sworn in and is serving as President of the United States, it is NOT the role of the judicial branch to determine that individual’s qualifications, nor is it the role of the judicial branch to remove an unqualified President from office. That responsibility falls to Congress - the House’s job is to impeach the President, and the Senate’s job is to conduct a trial and remove the President.

You are asking the judicial branch to overstep it’s CONSTITUTIONAL role in the name of upholding the Constitution. Doesn’t work like that.
