The “defacto officer doctrine” would cover the rest of the Obama administration from loss of position and actions taken, not Obama himself, if he were to be charged with a crime, indicted on criminal charges, or impeached and removed from office.

Since they were all appointed AFTER Obama was sworn in as president, that is highly unlikely. No one in his cabinet even knew they were going to be asked to be in the administration until after he was elected.

The most likely targets of such an investigation would be top Obama campaign officials and Obama himself, of course.
