I can’t put my finger on it right now but there have been cases of ineligibility that was found after the fact at the official was removed. One might have been a governor, it’s been several years since I have seen it. But I will when I have time to find it again.

THOMAS H. MOODIE, 19th Governor of N.D. was popularly elected by the people and sworn into office. He was later removed from office by the state's supreme court after it was determined he was ineligible for that office. Thomas H. Moddie was a usurper of an executive office.

As soon as the election was over, there was talk of impeachment, but no charges were filed. After Moodie's inauguration on January 7, 1935, it was revealed that he had voted in a 1932 municipal election in Minnesota. In order to be eligible for governor, an individual has to have lived in the state for five consecutive years before the election. The State Supreme Court determined that Governor Moodie was ineligible to serve, and he was removed from office on February 16, 1935.
