If it is proven he is ineligible, it would not be impeachment. It would be an annulment.

If he is impeached, then his laws stay on the books.

Since there is no case law or other precedent, I wouldn’t be so sure as to how it would go down. One of the main problems is that there is (to borrow a phrase from Al Gore) no controlling authority to declare an annulment.

An impeachment is likely the only practical way to go and even if he is ineligible I don’t think the votes would exist to convict.

Just my $.02
