Are you saying this is not a legal matter?

The Constitution (and federal statute) ultimately leaves it up to the political process.

If voters aren't satisfied that he's eligible, they can choose not to vote for him. If any of the electors have any issues, same thing. Congress, when certifying the electoral votes can submit objections to those votes. If the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has any issues, they can choose to refuse to administer the oath of office.

But enough voters voted for Obama to appoint the requisite number of electors, and the requisite number of electors cast their votes for Obama, and Congress certified those votes without objection, and Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath of office without objection.

So here we are.

Only avenue left is removal from office by way of conviction of impeachment as per Article II, Section 4.

Impeachment? On what evidence? Can the Congress compel Hawaii to release the original birth certificate? Or can they convict by, simply, debating the Natural Born issue based on Obama's written statements?
