There is a catch 21 there. Courts are not going to hear the case. They don't want to, and they're not going to. They will continue to deny standing and probable cause. That could change if there were compelling evidence, but there isn't. And if there were compelling evidence, it would still never get to court just like Nixon was not impeached - Obama would resign.
And if it ever did get heard in say, the supreme court, I can't believe for a moment they would remove him from office. They would say that the system broke down as various players failed to verify Article 2 eligibility. BUT, because he was elected the will of the people in that election trumps eligibility. In other words, if you are ineligible and you manage to get elected anyway, you're in. I don't agree with that. The constitution says you have to be eligible to hold the office not just to run for it. But we might get beyond it without risking riots that way and theywould be mindful of that.
