What Kind of Mess Would Be In if...

What kind of mess would we be in if it was proven that the President is in fact ineligible to be president due to citizenship requirements? Would every decision he made be null and void? I'm not debating his status, it's just a what-if question.

the big argument would be what type of tree to hang him from? a native tree of Illinois? or something from D.C. ?
and of course with his "green" policies, we would have to use an all natural rope.

oh crap!!! we better get a tree from AFRICA, that is where he is from....maybe Elton John could sing that circle of life song as he sways in the wind....

Not an answer, Jigs...just bull shite.

I doubt that anything would be different. He has not "passed" legislation...the congress has...and not really much of that.

I would assume that it's far too late for such a debate. If it were really an issue his name wouldn't have made it onto the ticket, let alone through the electoral college uncontested. The people spoke, now they must suffer this fool just like the last one :wink:

Things are passed by the Congress, but they have been without veto. Also is all the decisions made by the Czars which only answer to the President. BTW, FDR called his equivalent of Czars, Dictators.

Out of curiosity. I emailed a professor of Constitutional Law here at the U. of Illinois last fall asking the very same question. His first statement was that we are in unchartered waters. He went on to say that, in his opinion, Obama would be removed from office (he didn't say who would have the power to do that) and Biden would become president. He also said (his opinion again) that Obama would be considered the legitimate president until he was removed. Therefore, all laws signed or vetoed, all treaties entered into, etc. up to that point would stand. He compared the situation to a person being presumed innocent until proven guilty. That is, Obama would be presumed eligible until proven ineligible, therefore everything he did up until the point he was removed would stand.

Bottom line: I don't think anyone knows for sure. As that professor said, we are in unchartered waters. I suppose the Supreme Court would have the final say. But you're right, Ben, it would be a heckuva mess.
