Take it off of Trump for a hypothetical: Suppose a person won the popular and the electoral votes, but a week later, it turned out that they were ineligible. Born in a foreign country, and not even old enough. Living under false identity the whole time.
What do you see happening between then and inauguration day? Who steps in to say authoritatively, "No, this guy can't be president, his opponent will be sworn in?" Or would it be his opponent? Would Congress decide? I'm sure some process would be followed. If a person is really ineligible, they cannot serve.
But . . . imagine that process being followed based on the absurdly ginned up charges against Trump, none of which so far renders him ineligible according to the Constitution. So how do you see it happening, exactly?
Or if the talk of Trump being "ineligible" is pure fantasy, and I'm dumb to ask, say so.
