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

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

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

I disagree in part.

What happens if the electoral college goes ahead and gives the electoral nod to Obama since he won the popular vote as well?

We are looking at a Marxist scheme that will completely delegitimize our election process. Bush won in 2000 on a “technicality” as interpreted by the SCOTUS, however it was law and the Democrats tried to change the law after the fact.

I don’t know if our Constitutional law process has ever had to deal with this kind of election challenge. The only fair way, in my mind, to legitimize the election would be to take Hillary Clinton, who was a close 2nd in the Primary’s and enter her in a 30 day runoff election with McCain. The deeper Obama gets into the cabinet nomination process only muddies the waters deeper.

Who knows? I am not a lawyer nor a Constitutional Scholar. And I doubt if peon citizens opinions will ever matter anyhow.
