This sets an interesting precedent should the O not be elligible. It could mean that neither Biden nor McCain would be allowed to take office. Either W would have to continue in the role or can you say President Pelosi without puking? No, I didn’t think so.

I suspect if Obama was found ineligable after he takes office the normal chain of sucsession would apply. VP Biden, then Speaker Pelosi.

If Obama was found ineligable prior to the Electorial College vote, I think the Obama electors would fell free to vote for whoever they wanted. They would either get together and as a group decide to all vote for an alternative (my guess it would be Biden, but who really knows at that point). If they couldn’t and nobody got the majority it would go to the senate (or is it the house?)

The gotcha comes if Obama is invalidated in the no-man’s land between when the electors have voted (for Obama), but before he has been sworn in. Does it go by the chain of sucession or does it go to congress?

Now that Obama has assumed the “Office of President-Elect” I don’t think there is anything we can do to remove him.

After all, a guy that has the hutspah to creat a constituional office out of thin air and then assume it will do pretty much anything.
