First, I don't think that will ever be proven as Obama was indeed born in Hawaii.

Second, if any president is removed from office, impeachment, resignation, death, the vice president becomes president. The new president then gets to select a replacement VP that is confirmed by the US Senate.

Dusty,

Your reply is off limits. I asked you not to discuss whether or not he was born in the US.

Easybreezy,
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?

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?
Nothing at all. His mother was a US citizen for at least 5 years. That makes him a naturalized citizen.
The whole birther thing based on his BC is moot.

That's not what I asked. I'm asking what would happen if Obama's legitimacy of being the president was proven to be false.

PLEASE everyone. Keep the birther argument out of this thread.

So what would happen if Obama was proven to have not been born in America?
Well the first thing that will happen is scientist will start their research on how exactly hell froze over. Then the hunt will begin on those damn flying pigs. After that, Al Sharpton will begin his fundraising tour for his campaign to be the 2012 Republican presidential candidate.

The appeals and re-investigations would drag on long past 2016 should he win a second term.

Some people who voted for him would still stand behind him because they wouldn't believe it.

And someone would probably try to kill him.

So I gather that's a No vote in the very first response to the OP.

Everything he signed, including Executive Orders would be null & void.

I would think that the Speaker of the House would take over at least temporarily.
I agree with Biden being no longer eligible being chosen by one that proved not to be if that was the case.


Any Military Orders that he gave could turn into quite a quandary.

ObamaCare would be at least fully suspended as there was no duly authorized signature to it.

For the first time in our History there might be a special election if the Speaker did not serve the remainder of the term.

He would try not to bow after dropping the soap.
