Thanks for the Comment- Here's My Take

What happens if Obama were proved to not be natural born. Aside from how and by whom that would be authoritatively certified, by not being eligible to be President he would not be President, and for that reason he would not be subject to impeachment. As for the Vice President taking over, consider that the Twenty-fifth Amendment, Section 1 provides for a Vice President to become President only after the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation. The office wouldn’t be vacant for any of those reasons (the last President served out his term) so there would be no authority for the Vice President to do anything but stay in place. Section 4 gives a process whereby a notice would be given to the Congress that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, after which the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. However, there would be no President to whom such a notice would apply, and the Vice President would still stay in place. Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 of the Constitution does provide for electing Presidents: "The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes...." This not only would be dangerously time-consuming, there is no provision for an interim President during the election process. Who would be in charge then? This whole thing could be like the dog that chases cars but doesn’t know what to do when they stop.

Obama having been sworn in as President, is subject to impeachment. The eligilbility question would be the cause to convene an impeachment hearing. Impeachment is not a criminal hearing, it's a procedural hearing. Once impeached, criminal charges could be filed against Obama for his illegal activties.

As for the 25th Amendment, it deals with more than death or illness of the President. There is the phrase, "incapacity to serve" too. I'd say impeachment is very good cause for a sitting president to be considered incapacitated and no longer able to serve.

Joe Biden as a co conspirator, would also be removed. The line of succession would be followed downward until an honest office holder could be found to be president pro temp, until a special election could be held.

You notice I didn't mention Boehner the Speaker of the House as third in line or Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State or the Chief of the Joint Chiefs Adm Mullen, because all of them are dirty.

How do we get an impeachment hearing in the first place? We have a collection of OJ's who would be sitting in judgement of OJ. Revolting isn't it? Or should I just say REVOLT !!!!
