It should have been when the Electoral College vote count was presented to the Congress on Jan 9, 2009. THAT WAS THE LAST GATE. After that IMPEACHMENT is the only legal way of removing the President.

[Title 3, United States Code, Section 15] … Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received. When all objections so made to any vote or paper from a State shall have been received and read….

All it took was one objection from the House and one from the Sentate. BOTH PARTIES ARE IN ON THIS MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE THINGIE.
