The Justice (usually Chief Justice) who swears in a candidate who does not meet all Constitutional requirements for the office of President has violated his own oath of office.

Wouldn't that be a mess? If true, who could handle the impeachment of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court? Talk about unprecedented.

"Wouldn't that be a mess? "

Yeah -- but what if the Chief Justice (Roberts, in this case) held firm to his own oath and said,

"You have refused to demonstrate that you meet the Constitutional reqirements for serving as President. Neither I nor anyone else who has sworn an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution can administer to you the Presidential Oath of Office -- because you have already demonstrated ultimate disdain for our Constitution.

The Presidential oath will now be administered to the Vice-President Elect."

Talk about a profile in courage!!!
