Yes. Obviously the VP would be in line to be made president. But! Since he ran WITH Obama, if Obama's qualifications were not met, wouldn't that nullify the VP's position too? I mean, if they found out that Obama wasn't a legal citizen the day before election day, the VP would have been out too! If Obama's campaign was a sham, then that would include the VP's election campaign too, wouldn't it?

What I'm really curious about though is the actions that Obama took in office. Wouldn't they be called into question? What would happen to the healthcare bill?
No. when you voted there were two names on that ballot. Or two names for each party I should say. When I voted I voted for Obama for President and Biden for VP so my vote for Biden would still apply

The bills he signed wouldn't be a problem. They've already been passed by the Congress so they'd only have to be signed by Biden. He could probably even just issue an executive order.

Sorry, but that is not correct.

Please BTW, let's keep this on topic. This isn't about whether or not he really was born in Hawaii. Keep that controversy out of this topic please.

Let's just keep this a "what if" about him actually being born in Kenya. What would happen?

Impeachment obviously. But what then?
The libs would not care and would keep the whole issue tied up in court. Liberals only obey laws when it benefits them. When it does not, laws are to be ignored. This, of course, is just fascism by a different name.

I think the only real thing that would happen is he would be DQ for 2012.

I think that would be the most likely outcome. The Party would force him out of the campaign, a Constitutional crisis would be avoided and the world would go on.

This is one of the first sources cited. If you think Cornell's online version of the United States Code is BS, well, I don't know what to tell you:

United States Code: Title 8,1401. Nationals and citizens of United States at birth | LII / Legal Information Institute

The "party"? You mean the democrat party would force him out? No way!

They would be fighting for him to keep the title.

The American people would be calling for his resignation, NOT the dems/libs.

I don't see how he could do his job after that, cant sign any bills to find out whats in them or campaign anymore, but he could still lie...
