If it's discovered Obama is not a natural born citizen and can't be president, what will happen?
A DNC official and former deputy attorney general of Pennsulvania has a lawsuit in the courts claiming Obama was not born in the U.S. and is therefore ineligable to be president.
The White Nick Furry,
Yes, it will tear a hole in time and space, and tear a new one for the U.S. What happens if he's elected then declared not eligable to be president? What a mess.
For those who call the man bringing the lawsuit a crack pot, and unreliable, he's the former deputy attorney general for the state of Pennsulvania, and a DNC party official, once head of the DNC for his county of residence.
Why is Obama fighting the release of his official birth certificate to election officials? The state of Hawaii is not allowed to release it without his approval, and all the suit wants is for election officials to view it.

I think it would be interesting. I am not sure what the Constitution says about it but I believe the election would be postponed and Bush would continue until the democrats put someone else up (Hillary) who will then have a limited time to campaign and have debates against John McCain. Maybe this limited time would be 1 year, or maybe just 6 months.
"Nothing.. His mother was American."
Jessie R posted this and it made me laugh. Is this what unintelligent Obama supporters use as evidence to prove that he is American? She probably doesn't even know what constitutes someone as being a natural born citizen or what the qualifications of being president are, however she can vote for one. Oh well, I guess we all have our rights so I can only laugh, not question her rights.
Also, people need to read the law during the time Obama was born, now whether this is used or not is up to the courts who are investigating but I am just here to provide the facts:
"Barack Obama is not a legal U.S. natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between December 24, 1952, to November 13, 1986. Federal Law requires that the office of President requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. Citizen parents. This is what exempts John McCain, though he was born in the US Panama Canal Zone.
US Law very clearly states: ‘. . . If only one parent is a U.S. Citizen at the time of one’s birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for minimum ten years, five of which must be after the age of 16.’ Barack Obama’s father was not a U.S. Citizen is a fact.
Obama’s mother was only 18 when Obama was born. This means even though she had been a U.S. Citizen for 10 years, (or citizen of Hawaii being a territory), his mother fails the test for at-least-5-years- prior-to Barack Obama’s birth, but-after-age-16.
In essence, his mother alone is not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. Citizenship. At most, 2 years elapsed from his mother turning 16 to the time of Barack Obama’s birth when she was 18. His mother would have needed to have been 16 + 5 = 21 years old at the time of Barack Obama’s birth for him to be a natural-born citizen."

Well, the DEms would be in a pretty sticky mess
I imagine if it happened before the election they would either have to boost Biden (God forbid) to the top slot and pick someone else, or have some sort of emergency convention and select a replacement.
If it happens after the election but before the swearing in, I guess that would put Biden on top.
And if it happens after the swearing in, it will be President Biden.
My daughter and I had this conversation this very morning.

It's not going to happen. That guy isn't anything but a glory hound.
IF it did happen before the election, someone else would have to be picked by the DNC to take Obama's place.
IF it happened after the election, Obama would have to resign and Biden would become President.

He's already been proven to be a US citizen and eligible not only to serve in the Senate, but as President as well.
The lawsuit by that crackpot is going nowhere VERY quickly. I've read all of the filings. All 600 megabytes worth of them. It's pure lunacy and fairy tales, nothing more.
Therefore what you pose cannot happen and therefore how it would be handled is irrelevant. But to answer your question, if the President cannot serve for ANY reason, the VP steps in and takes over as President. Just like when Nixon resigned or Kennedy was assassinated.

Hawaii is part of the USA. His mother is American. Therefor, most likely not gonna find out anything else. But IF that were true, I hope you love war.
