No we don’t lose either way. Upholding the Constitution by keeping an uneligible non citizen from assuming the Presidency would be achieved. Unfortunately since the null and void of the election results would send our nation into uncharted Constitutional territory, it could take months for the courts to find remedy. In the mean time, I would think the current sitting President and his cabinet would have to remain until continuity of succession is established. A revote would be in order. But one would assume Democrats would fight the revote.

Better hunker down. Political uncertainty would further diminish confidence in the economy. Worst case we could see anarchy.

Unfortunately that same scenario I just mentioned could allow exceptions in the Constitution in the name of “saving America”. HOWEVER....Opening the door to an unconstitutional Obama Presidency has to be stopped. Two wrongs don’t make it right.

Actually if he is disqualified the next highest Presidential candidate to collect electoral votes would become President.
