Article 2 states:
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation or inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what officer shall then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.
So if it is found that Obama is ineligible prior to the electoral college vote then it seems to me that he would never have obtained the position of president and biden would not have obtained the position of vice president!
It would seem to me according to art 2 that we would then have a nullified election that would have to be completely re-done!
On the other hand if the electors vote him in and it is later found to be that he is ineligible it seems to me that biden would then become president and obama would be out completely because he would also be ineliglble for vice president as well and biden would have to pick a vice president!
It seems to me that this could get really uglee if obama turns out ineligible!
