"So what would happen if Obama was proven to have not been born in America?"

Republicans would become so overcome with joy and happiness that more gay Republicans would come out of the closet to be welcomed into the loving arms of their Tea Party brethren.

Other than that, not much.

The final verdict was that since the Canal Zone at the time was a US territory he was, in fact, eligible.

Nothing to do with the fact that his father was a Naval Officer.

Uh, no. The senate had to pass a special resolution making McCain an NBC.

Clinton, Obama Sponsor McCain Citizenship Bill

I'm truly amazed how many constitutional scholars there are here on CD, that know the answer to everything w/o a moment's hesitation.

I don't know about that, but his father was active duty
military 24/7 - his wife the spouse of 24/7 active duty. I don't even know why they would bring up whether it was a civilian hospital or not. His mere presence in another
part of the world, was a direct order of his own government. Who comes up with these lawyer type
explanations ....oh, lawyers

wrong.

the defacto officer doctrine will answer your question.

biden would assume office after an impeachment, none of obama's actions would be automatically null and void.

You think that there are not gay Republicans still in the closet?

Political power makes some people feel more secure. Secure people probably come out more than insecure ones.

The thread premise is a flame.
