Darius: Biden would succeed. It wojuld be similar to a death or incapacitation or resignation. Provided Obama already serving. Obama would not be able to stop the enforcement of sucvh a ruling. The popular opinion would not sustain him and the military would have more allegiance to the Constitution than the man. Obama would have to resign or be impeached and voted from office. There's no other mechanism for removing a sitting president. We'd probably be looking at a massive Constitutional crisis, for sure. |

Actually I don't think that parents can irrevocably renounce American citizenship for their children. I'm fairly certain that a child born to US citizens outside the US, or a child born outside the US to parents of mixed nationality, one being American, the other not, may choose his nationality at 21 years of age. For that matter, I'm not even sure if it's possible to "naturalize" a child. AFAIK in the US the process only applies to adults. A foreign child adopted by an American automatically becomes naturalized upon entering the country and completing the adoption process. I believe that children born to alien parents who naturalize before the children reach majority also become citizens or have the right to choose at age 21.
Did Obama's mother renounce her citizenship? |

military officers make an oath to the Constitution, not to the President. If USSC said he was ineligbile, he would have his bags packed and be escorted out the door. Also, public opinion (including Democrat congresscritters) would be against him. He would have no support. Yet your positing what amounts to an unconstitutional military coup... The SCOTUS has no power to enforce anything it decides, of course. There's no guarantee public opinion would turn against him, either, depending on how it was handled. If he plead ignorance, saying he honestly had no idea this was the case and he'd been led to believe he was born in the U.S. yada yada yada, then there might be enough support to sustain him. He's got ~67% approval ratings right now. |

BTW, I've read through most of his petition and it does actually have some strong legal arguments on standing, particularly given that this issue is novel. This one precedential snippet might tip the scales in favor of at least hearing the case:
More recently, in Akins, this Court rendered a decision maintaining that individual voters’ inability to obtain alleged public information met the injury in fact requirement, as it helped to ensure that the Court will adjudicate “a concrete, living contest between adversaries.” 524 U.S. at 21. http://www.obamacrimes.com/attachmen...2010_30_08.pdf |
