In your opinion, what is the constitutional method for removing him from office at this point? The Constitution explicitly provides only one way to remove a sitting president, impeachment by the House and trial and removal by the Senate. Given the composition of Congress, this just ain't gonna happen.
It is conceivable a massive electoral swing could result in a significant GOP majority in the House and potential impeachment, as only a simple majority is required. However, I don't think it is even mathematically possible for there to be a 2/3 GOP majority in the next Senate.
The only other apparent option would be a lawsuit going to the Supreme Court, which would then rule on the case.
I contend that giving the judicial system the extra- if not un-constitutional power to remove an elected president is perhaps as dangerous as allowing an ineligible official to serve out his term.
Do we really want the Supremes as the ultimate authority in every conceivable situation? We're moving in that direction, and a lawsuit of this type would accelerate that movement, IMO.
I've even seen some suggestions that the military should remove him as being unqualified. I think most Americans, even most birthers, can recognize this as a contender for the worst idea in American history.
Obama’s multitude of assaults on the USA as founded are classic Cloward-Piven.
We can’t defend on every front. Or so he thinks.
One leader. Just one leader is all we need. One eloquent, courageous, and intelligent leader to paint the big picture.
Card check, cap and trade, global warming, health care, TARP, auto take over, bank take over, The Wise Latina, 39 Czars, public education, MSM bias, ... What do they have in common?
The destruction of Franklin’s, Jefferson’s, Adams, Washington’s vision.
Our founders displayed miraculous wisdom. Look at those who are unraveling their work. Wow. What a contrast.
No, but we do want them to enforce the Constitution, as is their function.
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;
...
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
We've have the big soap box denied to us, we've failed at the ballot box, don't you think we should give the jury box a try before invoking that final box?

If he's not eligible, he's not President, elected or otherwise.

Not if they have absolute proof of his ineligibility. Because they would not be removing a President, they would be escorting an illegal occupant off of federal property.
