Well Politics or the State of the Union must have some bearing on this because the SCOTUS let the dog in and haven’t acknowledged any method of removal yet have they?

I've no idea what you're trying to say here. Care you elaborate a bit?

This must not have anything to do with the Constitution or he would have had to have had his eligibility proven before his admission to the office.

There's nothing in the Constitution or in federal statutes that provides for proving one's eligibility, or to whom it must be proven to. The Constitution leaves that up to the political process, i.e. the states which provide for the appointing of electors, the electors themselves who cast the actual votes for President and Vice President, the Congress which certifies those electoral votes, and the judge who administers the oath of office.

The political process has already played out. And the only means by which a President may be removed from office is specified in Article II, Section 4.

Sorry for the double tap on “have had”

“There’s nothing in the Constitution or in federal statutes that provides for proving one’s eligibility, or to whom it must be proven to. The Constitution leaves that up to the political process”

I don’t agree with this statement. First it is a Constitutional Requirement to be a Natural Born Citizen no matter what you say, and the Federal Election Commission is responsible for checking this; their failure to do so or having a loophole for him to circumvent this does not negate a requirement to be so. To the second part of your statement “The Constitution leaves that up to the political process” then so be it, the political process requires you to be Natural born and the only reason he fell through the crack is a federal funding of candidate that he somehow knew to refuse in order to avoid showing proof of eligibility. Again not having the right to be there would not require impeechment

Third, why am I arguing with a fence post with a rotten bottom anyway? Goodnight and as the old saying goes you take your dog home an I’ll take mine. Goodnight. LOL J
